At just eight years old, Tina watched her father murdered in cold blood. Now a teenager, she terrorizes her hometown of Gela, having made it her mission to join the mafia, an organization traditionally forbidden to women as made members. Nicknamed \u2019a masculidda, or \u201cthe tomboy,\u201d Tina has taken charge of her own gang, and is notorious for her cruelty and reckless disregard for societal expectations. Pickering-Iazzi\u2019s translation offers a fascinating look into a specific moment in queer history: a crypto-trans narrative set in a time when Italian society was incredibly conservative. A beautiful translation of a landmark literary achievement by one of Italy\u2019s feminist icons.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Free; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/robin-pickering-iazzi-translator-of-tina-mafia-soldier-a-boswell-event-tickets-491821680887\">advanced registration request here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boswell Book Company\u00a0hosts an evening with Prof. Pickering-Iazzi following the March 7 release of her latest translation, the novel\u00a0Tina, Mafia Soldier\u00a0by Maria Rosa Cutrufelli, published in 1994 in Italian as\u00a0Canto al deserto: Storia di Tina, soldato di mafia.
