NEW WAVE
Meeting with Filippo D'angelo, Giorgio Fontana & Alessandro Mari
Here are three young voices, three of the rising stars of Italian literature. Fully original voices. The first delivers, with The end of the other world, a provocative prose. The second, with Death of a Happy Man, won the famous Campiello Prize, making him one of the most talented young writers of the generation. The third made himself famous with a remarkable first novel, Les folles espérances, and is the Italian translator of Patti Smith. The three of them have created a portrait of Italy through their novels and have created a unique literary work that should be discovered without delay.
