Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	FAMILY: Family and Borghesia. Two Novellas. By [Natalia Ginzburg]. Translated by [Beryl Stockman]. (Seaver Books/Holt, $15.95.) At the conclusion of ''Family,'' a character on his deathbed reviews his life and can recall nothing but a kind of exalted trivia, a ''whole pile of random detailed impressions, that were hazy, but light as a feather.'' These phrases offer a precis of Natalia Ginzburg's method, which consists of a similar piling-up of minutiae, paragraph upon paragraph, interrupted only by an occasional patch of dialogue. At first her style may seem monotonous, flat and maddeningly repetitive.
