From the internationally bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
Interpreter of Maladies comes an exquisitely crafted work of fiction. 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
