Distant Light, by Antonio Moresco, translated from the Italian by Richard Dixon, has made the shortlist for the 2017 Italian Prose in Translation Prize (IPTA)!
“Despite its fable-like structure and brevity, Moresco has Kafka’s power to unnerve, and Walser’s genial strangeness. Something like a supernatural modernist story, Distant Light’s real territory is dreams, where readers may find the book’s imagery still lingering.”— Publishers Weekly
Founded in 2015, the IPTA recognizes the importance of contemporary Italian prose and promotes the translation of Italian works into English. To see the full shortlist, click here.
