Talk:Umbertina

3rd party sources
Someone in Italy must have read the book? The only review appears to be by someone paid to write something at the end of the book. Its not the New York Times fault that they decided to feature other books. If it is a conspiracy then please quote the 3rd party people who agree. Victuallers (talk) 22:18, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * What conspiracy? I can't make sense of your comment or your edits. Edvige Giunta is female, for one thing, and she is not the only reviewer. Did you look at the Bibliography and Further Reading sections, which list a number of in-depth articles about the book? And even if Giunta were the only reviewer, why would that invalidate her opinion? Giunta is a literary scholar who has taken an interest in what she considers a neglected work. You seem to be impugning her integrity. If you disagree with her view of the American literary establishment circa 1979 and its treatment of Italian-American women writers, you go right ahead and write a paper about that and have it published in a peer-reviewed literary journal, and I'll quote you in this article. Until then, I'm not interested in your personal views on the subject. --MopTop (talk) 00:33, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are "not interested" then I won't offer a reply. I am willing to AGF when you are open to listen Victuallers (talk) 10:49, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
