Description: My Language Is a Jealous Lover bears witness to the frustrations, soul-searching, pain, and joys of embracing another tongue. Adrián N. Bravi weaves together his own experiences as an Argentinian-Italian with the stories of authors who lived and wrote between multiple languages, including Samuel Beckett, Vladimir Nabokov, Ágota Kristóf, and Joseph Brodsky.
Review Quotes: "A masterful assemblage of intimate memories from the author and utterly persuasive arguments from fellow travelers, this book offers readers a multifaceted and nuanced portrait of what it means to live in and between languages. That it has now been admirably and creatively translated into a third language, beyond the author's own Spanish and Italian, triangulates Bravi's defense of linguistic relativity into an irrefutable work of realism."
