SUMMARY:Andrea Bajani and Jhumpa Lahiri Writers discuss Bajani's novel\, If You Kept a Record of Sins
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Bajani is joined in conversation by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jhumpa Lahiri to celebrate the publication of his novel\, If You Kept a Record of Sins (translated by Elizabeth Harris for Archipelago Books). \n“One of Italy’s greatest writers . . . An elegy\, a requiem\, a reckoning\, a broken portrait of an absent mother\, If You Kept a Record of Sins is a jewel of a book. You will hold it to your heart when you are done.” — Andrew Sean Greer\, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Less \nThis event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout If You Kept a Record of Sins\nA prismatic novel that records the indelible marks a mother leaves on her son after she abandons their home in Italy for a business she’s building in Romania. Lorenzo\, just a young boy when his mother leaves\, recalls the incisive fragments of their life – when they would playfully wrestle each other\, watch the sunrise\, or test out his mother’s newest scientific creation. Now a young man\, Lorenzo travels to Romania for his mother’s funeral and reflects on the strangeness of today’s Europe\, which masks itself as a beacon of Western civilization while iniquity and exploitation run rampant. With elliptical\, piercing prose\, Bajani tells a story of abandonment and initiation\, of sentimental education and shattered illusions\, of unconditional love. \nAbout the participants\nANDREA BAJANI is an Italian novelist\, journalist\, and poet whose work has been translated into many languages. His novel\, Ogni promessa (Every Promise)\, won the oldest and most prestigious Italian literary award\, the Bagutta Prize.
