The Grammar of Abandonment in I giorni dell’abbandono
2020
Overview
This paper explores how I giorni dell’abbandono represents the moment of crisis brought about what Ferrante calls la frantumaglia, a feeling of destructuration that results from the recognition of life’s meaninglessness. Both as crisis and trauma, I suggest, la frantumaglia resembles what Emily Dickinson calls a “formal feeling,” or a timeless, discombobulated state that cannot entirely be reduced to words. We will map out Olga’s process of disintegration, semantic, linguistic, and physical, to then discuss how plotting serves as a reconstructive activity in the reintegration of the self previously fragmented by loss.
