| | Boston Review |
| | Moravia's gritty tale of a prostitute who attains a sense of morality after servicing a succession of lovers paved the way for the more explicit depiction of suburban sexuality in the novels of John Cheever, John Updike, and Richard Yates. | | | Moravia found his ideal commonwealth in the world of peasants, whom he thought remained close to their natural instincts, their vitality uncorrupted by urban capitalism. | | | Boredom, with its suffering artist as Adam and his phlegmatic model as Eve, is one of Moravia's funniest meditations on the origins of middle-class funk. |

| | Alberto Moravia: A Man of His Times |
| | For Moravia, in this novel, it was the bored indifference of the Italian people as a whole that facilitated the birth and 20-year survival of Fascism, the same political indifference that marks Italian society today in the face of a modern form of reactionary extremism. | | | Moravia’s Michele was the first existentialist in European literature. | | | The man of letters and always a man of his times, Moravia has many admirers; also those who admire him less nonetheless recognize his prominent place in Italian letters of the twentieth century and in the world of literature. |

| | New York Times Book Review, Sunday 26 April, 1931 |
| | Moravia has not ceased to take an almost exclusive interest in characters known as ‘unpleasant’; this in itself is quite legitimate, for we are all sons of Adam and no one can be said to be less deserving of interest than another for the simple reason that he does not strike us as agreeable. | | | Tullio is a celibate who lives alone with his mother and falls a victim to his own avarice; not a new subject in literature, but described here with such keen insight as to justify the selection. | | | But because he is a real artist, his personage runs away with him and acquires the aspects of reality, and we like him just as we might like him in real life, where the ‘good’ people are by no means always the most popular. |

| | The Woman of Rome, by Alberto Moravia |
| | Moravia has magically created a woman with an enveloping personality, one that makes her assume good in those who are least good. | | | I could not restrain a long, wailing cry in the dark, as if the final embrace had been the embrace of death, not of love, and that cry the cry of my life departing from me, leaving behind a tortured, spent body. | | | As with Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, or Memoirs of a Geisha, one wonders how a man --- I almost said "a mere man" --- can penetrate, and penetrate so deeply, the heart of woman. |

| | Alberto Moravia was a leading mid-Twentieth Century Italian novelist and short story writer. | | | By telling in the 1st person his story of a young woman whose beauty, poverty, passivity and kindness lead her to prostitution and abandonment, the author shows us how such a fall from hope and grace is a gradual, imperceptible process, one day after the next. | | | Moravia's elegant novel takes the familiar theme of unfulfilled dreams and invests it with quiet strength and descriptive authenticity. |
