  Grazia Deledda: Voice of Sardinia
Grazia Deledda was to live for another ten years after receiving the Nobel Prize, years marked by a painful and slowly spreading breast cancer—the incurable malady of her protagonist Maria Concezione in the fine novel La chiesa della solitudine (The Church of Solitude).
Grazia also observed the complex rituals of marriage in the bright season, the days of paralimpos processions carrying gifts to the new home, including the mattress that would witness the birth of the couple's children and their own deaths, and the embroidered inghirialetto, the sacred bedspread of fertility and happiness.
Grazia took care of her sister's body, closing her eyes, cleaning the bed, and washing her limbs, shrouding her carefully as a bride in white.

Yet, before we shake our heads in disgust and disbelief, let's not lose sight of the fact that it was tools of the refashioned American Constitution that were the weapon that, in the hands of freedom-minded lawyers, judges, intellectuals and publishers, were able to fight the repressive forces of government and conservative pressure groups.
Such a lawyer was Edward de Grazia, who was at the forefront from the fifties onward, leading the shock-troups of the freedom fighters.
Because you [de Grazia] were so cheerful about it.
