With The House on Via Gemito Starnone, a finalist for the National Book Award with Trick, author of New York Times notable book of the year, Ties, and the critically acclaimed Trust, takes readers beyond the slim, novella-length works for which he is known by American readers to create a vast fresco of family, fatherhood, and modern Naples.
“A vivid, fluid, richly detailed drama, tormented and hilarious.”—Tim Parks, The Washington Post
