In these works, the author fearlessly explores issues such as immigration, domesticity, war, adultery, illness, mental health, sexuality, the environment, and trauma through the lens of gender, ethnic, and working-class identity. Alongside her groundbreaking scholarship, DeSalvo's memoirs attest to the power and influence of this feminist Italian American writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: \"Habit of Mind\" 1\u003cbr\u003e Nancy Caronia and Edvige Giunta \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMemoir\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Louise DeSalvo's \"Even in Death, \u003ci\u003eLa Bella Figura\u003c\/i\u003e\": A Meditation on Honor, Respect, and the Silences That Bind 37\u003cbr\u003e Margaux Fragoso\u003cbr\u003e The Poetics of Trauma: Intertextuality, Rhythm, and Concision in \u003ci\u003eVertigo \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWriting as a Way of Healing\u003c\/i\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e Peter Covino\u003cbr\u003e Fixing and Fictioning: Memory and Catholicism in \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e Jeana Delrosso \u003cbr\u003e Portrait of the Mother as a Writer and Researcher 75\u003cbr\u003e Julija Sukys\u003cbr\u003e Louise DeSalvo: Essaying Memoir 86\u003cbr\u003e Joshua Fausty\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTeaching\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On Vulnerability and Risk: Learning to Write and Teach Memoir as a Student of Louise DeSalvo 105\u003cbr\u003e Kym Ragusa \u003cbr\u003e Fixing Things: What Louise DeSalvo Has Taught Me about Writing 111\u003cbr\u003e Emily Bernard\u003cbr\u003e Dark Whiteness and Literacy without Assimilation: DeSalvo's Unlikely Narrative 117\u003cbr\u003e Kimberly A.
