Reissued to accompany Italian novelist Duranti's most recent book (see above), this multiple prizewinner (which first appeared in English translation in ) constructs an absorbing psychodrama from its faintly rarefied premise: a translator's surreal experience of the forgotten book and author that he (as it were) resurrects.
Francesca Duranti is the author of eight critically acclaimed novels and the winner of several of Italy’s most prestigious literary awards. She lives in New York City and Lucca, Italy. Her best-selling novel, The House on Moon Lake, is available in paperback from Delphinium Books. Duranti has written a chilling cautionary tale: a reproof for the furtive heart. A literary and commercial success in its native Italy, this elegant first novel shows how a translator's acclaimed discovery of a forgotten masterpiece becomes his nemesis. The protagonist, Fabrizio Garrone, is an impecunious aristocrat earning a meager living as a translator. He comes across a reference to an obscure novel, The House on Moon Lake, by Fritz Oberhofer, a little-known German writer. Tracking down the book, Fabrizio becomes obsessed by it.
