Περιγραφή για The House on Via Gemito: Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2024 Domenico Starnone Europa Editions (UK) Ltd

LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2024 “Starnone uses languages the way a great painter works with colour, conjuring the illusion of three dimensions from a blank flat surface.” —Jhumpa Lahiri “One of Italy’s most accomplished novelists.” —The Guardian  “Masterly.” —Times Literary Supplement  The modest apartment on Via Gemito smells of paint and white spirit. The furniture is pushed up against the wall to create a make-shift studio, and drying canvases must be moved off the beds each night. Federì, a railway clerk, is convinced that, if he didn’t have a family to feed, he’d be a world-famous painter. Talented, ambitious, and frustrated, his life is marked by bitter disappointment. His long-suffering wife and their four sons bear the brunt.  Years later, his first-born son will tell the story of a man he spent his whole life trying not to resemble.  Narrated against the background of a Naples still marked by WWII and first published in Italy over 20 years ago, The House on Via Gemito is a masterpiece of contemporary Italian literature.  Σελίδες: 464, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
