ROME NOIR

The Italian Cultural Institute of New York and Akashic Books present a discussion with editor Maxim Jakubowski of the brand-new anthology ROME NOIR, consisting of sixteen short stories (translated from Italian) by some of the biggest talents of the Italian crime and literary scene, including Carlo Lucarelli, Gianrico Carofiglio, Diego De Silva, Francesca Mazzucato, Antonio Scurati, Tommaso Pincio, Boosta, and many others. ROME NOIR looks beyond the tourist façade of Italy’s capital. This is the real city of Fellini, Pasolini, and countless other major artists who devoted their lives to depicting the grandeur and decadence of this ever fascinating metropolis.RSVP 212 879 4242 368
