Question

In 1926, an author who used both this language and a less-spoken relative of it became the second woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature on the strength of novels such as Reeds in the Wind. This language was used for a novel in which two girls throw dolls into the basement of a loan shark while growing up in the 1950s. Novels like Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay and My Brilliant Friend (20[1])appear in a series written in this language by a (*) pseudonymous author. In an absurdist play in this language, the Mother and the Father interrupt the Stage Manager because they are two of the title Six Characters in Search of an Author. For 10 points, name this language used by Grazia Deledda (“GRAHT-zee-ah day-LAY-dah”), Elena Ferrante (“eh-LAY-nah fair-AHN-tay”), and Luigi Pirandello. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
