GRAZIA DELEDDA'S ETERNAL ADOLESCENTS: THE PATHOLOGY OF ARRESTED MATURATION, Jan Kozma.

Concomitantly she dissects male-female relationships within the framing leitmotiv of prolonged male adolescence, undergirded by a woman's boundless tolerance for male narcissistic despair. Deledda's literary strategy subverts conventional expectations in surprising ways, as she exposes the inner working of a patronistic world where her women can finally wield a fragment of power. 0-8386-3935-6 $41.50
