The Iguana by Anna Maria Ortese: Little-Known Italian Master but Alongside Borges and Márquez
<p>“The Iguana” by Anna Maria Ortese is a book that stands out for its depth and literary stratification. Its complex and intricate plot deals with current and universal themes, making it an unclassifiable work that is difficult to interpret, but which certainly deserves to be read and fully understood. Reading “The Iguana” means confronting the perennial problems and challenges of humanity particularly of recent times, including violence against women, femicides, and the struggles of the oppressed. In addition, the book explores the theme of nature, omnipresent in Ortese’s works almost as a character itself, and that of existential loneliness, especially about the widespread mental distress afflicting the new generations. Another important aspect on which the text invites reflection is the marginalization of the different, of the foreigner, which is connected to delicate social issues such as racism and ethnic-religious clashes.</p>
