Maril Oliva\'s oeuvre is an essential means of understanding Italy\'s complexities of today in relation to those of the past.
We have tried to capture a glimpse of her multi-faceted work with our essays, in English and Italian written in-between Italy and Australia.
Like many of her protagonists, La Guerrera and Martina, she is a fl neuse through space and time who dares to push boundaries - literary, genre, societal - in her books and by speaking out at conferences, festivals, book launches.
