Description:
Italo Svevo, Giorgio Pressburger and Giuliana Morandini all make use of individual 'infected' or suppressed voices which unfold through illness so as to cast doubt on a more dominant narrative standpoint. Here, Emma Bond offers a critical reading of the literary function of illness, a function related to the nature of narration itself.
