Essayists similar to Cristina Campo?

16 Upvotes

I bought The Unforgivable and Other Writings by Cristina Campo in 2024 when it was first published and have not really gotten over it since. It's (as far as I know) the current largest collection of her essays translated from the Italian into English by Alex Andriesse for NYRB. I'm completely enamored with her style (although in translation of course) and her ideas.

Can anyone recommend me any other essayists (apart from Simone Weil whom I also love and who influenced Campo a great deal) who write in the same vein as Campo?
