About the author
Luce d'Eramo was born in 1925 in France. The daughter of Italian parents, she lived in France until 1938, when her family returned to Italy. From a bourgeois Fascist family, she studied at the Sapienza in Rome and was a member of the Association of Fascist Students. When she was 18, she left home to volunteer in the Nazi labour camps, but then joined a group of deportees being sent to Dachau, from which she escaped in October 1944. She was left severely paralysed in 1945. In 1946 she married Pacifico d'Eramo and they moved to Rome; their son, Marco, was born in 1947. Deviation was published in 1979, and she died in Rome in 2001.
