«Mille jours à Venise» is the autobiographical account by Marlena de Blasi, published by Folio in paperback (304 pages, in French).
After a decisive encounter, Marlena de Blasi leaves behind her life in the United States —the house, the restaurant and her career as a food critic— to settle in Venice. There she faces the language, a gloomy flat and loneliness, and with humour gradually discovers the city until she feels accepted.
This book, originally in English, was titled 'A Thousand Days in Venice' (2002); the French translation is by Marie-Pierre Bay and Nicolas Castelnau-Bay. First volume in the Italian Memoirs series.
For readers of memoirs and travel writing, with an interest in Italy, gastronomy and stories of life change.
US-born Italian writer, journalist, culinary critic (*1952)
