(September 13, 2016) Nicola Lagioia, winner of the Strega Prize in 2015, will represent Italy at the HarbourFront Literaturfestival Literaturfestival in Hamburg, with the award-winning novel “The Ferocity” (Einaudi), recently translated into German. On Sunday, September 18 at 20 the author will meet with readers in St.Pauli Kirche (Pinnasberg 80-20359 HH). He will dialogue with Elettra De Salvo, actress and director, who will also read some passages of the German version of the novel. The evening is organized by the Institute of Italian culture in Hamburg, in collaboration with the HarbourFront-Literaturfestival and the publishing house Secession Verlag. “The Ferocity” is the story of two youth, a family, a city, the sins of the fathers nested in the weakness of their children, of a world where money can fix everything up precisely to the moment in which it is already too late.
