Working on this was not like translating a book, but like translating a whole human heart.

Michele Mari now shortlisted for Italy's most important prize, the Strega, after receiving by far the most votes out of any of the longlisted authors. Let's gooo! 🏅 @Einaudieditore

Sono stati appena annunciati i libri finalisti al #PremioStrega2026.

@lucatedoldi76 @Einaudieditore Va be', Leggenda privata e Verderame, essendo due dei romanzi italiani più belli della storia (per me), rimangono un po' imparagonabili. Trovo molto bello anche I convitati di pietra comunque, e credo che dovrebbe vincere (se poi lui vince per "la carriera" o no non m'importa)

[Brian Robert Moore @BrianRobMoore]

@lucatedoldi76 @Einaudieditore Raramente un autore scrive un libro così sorprendente e originale come questo dopo una ventina di libri già pubblicati – è un bel libro. (E scusa, non c'è bisogno sempre di criticare un libro solo perché l'ho elogiato. Pure con Siti, solo perché non conoscevi il titolo inglese)

over here it’s translated literature, lit fic with a healthy sprinkling of thrillers and horror 🙂‍↕️🤭

@lucatedoldi76 @GrantaMag È il titolo inglese di Troppi paradisi infatti 👍

[Brian Robert Moore @BrianRobMoore]

The only thing these greatest books lists are good for is reminding me to say that when they did one for the 21st century in Italy, Walter Siti's Paradise Overload was rightly ranked no. 1. Forthcoming from Archipelago Books, excerpted here in @GrantaMag 😇https://t.co/KhIfudv67i

@AnneMilanoAppel Very much a Borges-inspired tweet :)

Translator wins top literary award for "daring" and "pitch-perfect" translation that leaves entire book in source language. "Maintains all the original flavor" praised the judges.

@PersonalRecords For questions of readability in the Anglophone market, most semicolons and comma splices were however replaced with em dashes.

[Brian Robert Moore @BrianRobMoore]

And right after me will be reading the one and only @PersonalRecords! Going to be a good time: https://t.co/XNqWpF84Iz

I’ll be reading at this @stjordinyc party at 3pm tomorrow in the West Village. They’re celebrating soccer a bit this year so naturally I’ll be reading from Michele Mari’s O. Henry Prize-winning story “The Soccer Balls of Mr. Kurz” from You, Bleeding Childhood. Come hang out! ⚽️

Once Ben Lerner opens an autofictional novel by declaring how much he hates his poor parents, and then tries to kill one of them to get some extra cash to pay for a bodybuilding coke-addict gigolo, then we can talk. https://t.co/KhIfudv67i
