Summary: | The tale that recounts the misfortunes of a hungry, cold little match girl who faces death, is reminiscent of Hans Christian Andersen's tale, but Pizorno parodies the original tale by giving Lavinia a magic ring that transforms objects into excrements. rather complex allusions to literary works, history, art, and international classical literary works are one of her hallmarks. |
