Question

This work names a project that included Edwidge Danticat’s “One Thing” and that was published in the New York Times Magazine in 2020. This work’s format and title inspired an unfinished 72-part work by Marguerite de Navarre (“MAR-guh-REET duh nah-VAR”). In a story originally from this work, (20[1])a man tells his wife that their two (20[1])children have been killed, (20[1])then (20[1])pretends to have divorced her for several years, in order to test her (*) patience. (10[1])Dioneo (“DEE-oh-NAY-oh”) narrates the last section of this work, which concerns that wife, Griselda. In this work, stories are told by a group of people including Filostrato (“FILL-oh-STRAH-toh”) and Fiammetta (“f’yam-ET-ah”), who are fleeing a Black Death epidemic in Florence. For 10 points, name this collection with a ten-day frame structure written by Giovanni Boccaccio ■END■
