The Italian Cultural Institute in New York hosts writer and translator Vincenzo Latronico for a presentation of Perfection, his latest novel and the first to be translated into English, in conversation with author and literary critic Lauren Oyler. Out this month from NYRB, Perfection is a scathing novel about contemporary existence—a tale of two young expat "digital creatives" living in Berlin, gradually waking up to find themselves in various traps, wondering how it all came to be.
Born in Rome, Vincenzo Latronico studied philosophy at the University of Milan and has since published numerous books in Italian, including La Cospirazione delle Colombe -The Conspiracy of Doves and Ginnastica e Rivoluzione– Gymnastics and Revolution. In addition to his own writing, he has also translated the work of many writers into Italian including work by George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, and Alexander Dumas. He lives in Milan.
Lauren Oyler is an American author and critic. Her debut novel, Fake Accounts, was published in February 2021. She graduated in 2012 from Yale University with a degree in English.
This event is free and open to the public.
