Coming this spring, a new novel by Bernardo Zannoni, a wunderkind of contemporary Italian lit. The story is told from the pov of a beech marten who is sold to a fox by his mother, learns to read, and finds God. #philosophicalnovels #ItalianLiterature #ItalianLiteratureInTranslation #InternationalFiction #LiteratureInTranslation #martens

A sneak peek at cover proofs of two Dino Buzzati books coming this spring—ranging from the painfully real story of A Love Affair (tr. Joseph Green) to the absurd magical realism of The Stronghold (tr. Lawrence Venuti; previously translated as The Tartar Steppe).
