这本书的标题——参考莫兰特把《故事》的主人公比作一只母老虎，她用自己的肉喂养幼崽，这样它们就能在冰冷的孤独中生存下来（第11页）——和它的封面插图——Käthe Kollwitz的一幅画，一个女人抱着一个死去的孩子——立即宣布悲伤和自焚是意大利意识形态和母性文化表现的参数。接下来的书恰如其分地分析了20世纪意大利女作家对这些根深蒂固的符号和期望的不断谈判。
The title of this book – a reference to Morante’s comparison of La Storia ’s protagonist to a tigress who fed her cubs her own flesh so that they could survive a frozen solitude (p. 11) – and its jacket illustration – a drawing by Käthe Kollwitz of a woman hugging a dead child – proclaim at once grief and self-immolation as the parameters of Italian ideologies and cultural representations of motherhood. Fittingly, the book that follows analyses Italian 20 th Century women writers’ constant negotiation of these entrenched symbols and expectations.
