Description

Automatically translated from Italian.

The presentation of "The Lamp Fish", Valeria Cagnazzo's new book, will take place in Lecce during an event where the author will engage in a dialogue with Gianni Minerva. The novel tells a story set in a South where human, animal, and plant elements intertwine, against a backdrop of family conflicts and a violence that permeates the social and existential spheres. An opportunity to discover a work that explores the contradictions and complexities of an archaic yet contemporary reality.

Original text in Italian

La presentazione di "Il pesce lampada", nuovo libro di Valeria Cagnazzo, si terrà a Lecce in un incontro dove l'autrice dialoga con Gianni Minerva. Il romanzo racconta una storia ambientata in un Sud dove si intrecciano elementi umani, animali e vegetali, sullo sfondo di conflitti familiari e di una violenza che permea il sociale e l'esistenziale. Un'occasione per scoprire un'opera che indaga le contraddizioni e le complessità di una realtà arcaica eppure contemporanea.
