Description

 

Jhumpa Lahiri sets her gaze on the eternally beautiful city, illuminating the frailties of the human condition and dissecting lives lived on the margins.

A man recalls a summer party that awakens an alternative version of himself.

A couple haunted by a tragic loss return to seek consolation.

An outsider family is pushed out of the block in which they hoped to settle.

A set of steps in a Roman neighbourhood connects the daily lives of the city’s myriad inhabitants.

This is an evocative fresco of Rome, the most alluring character of all: contradictory, in constant transformation and a home to those who know they can’t fully belong but choose it anyway.

Rich with Lahiri’s signature gifts, Roman Stories is a masterful work from one of the finest writers of our time.

Translated from the Italian by Jhumpa Lahiri and Todd Portnowitz.
