Domenico Starnone

Domenico Starnone

Domenico Starnone is considered by many to be Italy’s greatest living author. He is the author of fifteen best-selling works of fiction, including: Ties, a New York Times Editors’ Pick and Notable Book of the Year, and a Sunday Times and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year; Trick, a Finalist for the 2018 National Book Award and the 2019 PEN Translation Prize; and, Trust, “a short, sharp novel that cuts like a scalpel to the core of its characters” (LA Times). All three of these novels were translated by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Jhumpa Lahiri. His short stories have appeared in the Paris Review, the New Yorker, and the Georgia Review

Starnone’s Strega Prize-winning novel, The House on Via Gemito (Europa, 2023), translated by Oonagh Stransky, was named a Washington Post and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year and a New York Times Editors’ Choice, and was long-listed for the 2024 International Booker Prize. In 2024, again in Stransky’s translation, Europa released The Mortal and Immortal Life of the Girl from Milan, which the New Yorker described as “wonderfully off-kilter.” Starnone is the recipient of many of Italy’s major literary prizes, including: the Strega prize, the Napoli prize, and the Campiello prize.
