Translated by Adria Frizzi

Six Italian women living in Paris gather for a drunken dinner party, an occasion for ribald storytelling and gossip, shocking confession and soul-searching, unexpected revelation and painful betrayal, and, ultimately, profound and enduring female solidarity.

Rossana Campo blends pop and high culture in this polyphonic novel whose vibrant, colloquial language gleefully overturns stuffy literary convention, subverts the expectations of genre and narrative, and celebrates orality in all its untamed glory. Bawdy, exuberant, hilarious, Never Felt So Good is a deliciously ironic depiction of female sexuality and friendship, an irrepressible stream of overlapping female voices, a symposium in the truest sense.
