«La première main» is the autobiographical account by Rosetta Loy, published by Mercure de France in paperback (189 pages, in French).
In this self-portrait, Rosetta Loy interweaves her life with that of Italy under fascism, from her childhood taking refuge between Rome, Ostia, Switzerland and the Aosta Valley to her adulthood and the three men who marked her. Love, solitude and desire run through a narrative of gestures and silences where the girl's gaze and the woman's merge.
Translated from the Italian by Françoise Brun; the cover bears the subtitle 'Traits et portraits'.
Rosetta Loy was an Italian writer. She was the recipient of the Rapallo Carige Prize for Le strade di polvere in 1988.
