Life
Life
Rossana Ombres was born in Turin. Her novels and poetry draw on her Piedmont childhood. After graduating from University of Turin, she became a journalist and literary critic for La Stampa. Her first three publications were volumes of poetry. Ombres then moved to narrative prose. Her first novel, Principessa Giacinta (1970), mixed feminist concerns with experimental form. The novel's female protagonist is shut away in a room to escape pollution, only communicating by telephone to the newspaper which employs her. She appears to occasionally self-identify with the wife of Martin Luther, and is waiting for a lost or stolen manuscript somehow associated with a previous marriage.
