La poétesse Giorgia Meriggi écrit sur The Butterfly Cemetery de Franca Mancinelli (The Bitter Oleander Press) dans la revue Modern Literature. « [. . .] The Butterfly Cemetery collects Mancinelli’s narrative prose and short essays written between 2008 and 2021. The book was born in English from her long friendship with the translator John Taylor. More than ten years of writing, comprising texts and fragments of different forms and genres, have been transformed by the author and her translator into a coherent and harmonious whole. Several are autobiographical stories about key events of childhood and the passage to adolescence and its ‘pangs of an obscure pain”’ others raise questions about the self and its role in writing, notably the possibilities of an ‘open identity’ that goes ‘beyond human contours,’ as Taylor puts it, quoting the author in his illuminating postface, ‘Franca Mancinelli: Facing the Invisible.' » [. . .]
