Due vite (Two Lives) by Emanuele Trevi is a luminous, beautifully written wisdom book. It was deservedly awarded the 2021 Premio Strega, Italy’s major literary prize, and awaits the foresight of an American publisher for an English translation. An accomplished literary critic, ever since I cani del nulla (Einaudi 2003), his debut novel, Trevi, has been honing a personal narrative style, where real-life experiences fuel the world of the imagination.
