Jhumpa Lahiri & Michael Reynolds Present TRICK by Domenico Starnone

Note: This is an offsite, ticketed event, to be held at the Berkeley Carroll School’s Marlene Clary Performance Space
152 Sterling Pl.
Brooklyn, NY 11215

Pulitzer Prize-winng author and translator Jhumpa Lahiri launches her translation of Trick, a novel by Domenico Starnone
In Conversation with Michael Reynolds, Editor in Chief of Europa Editions

“A new book by Starnone is an event to celebrate.”—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Trick is a stylish locked-room drama about ambition, family, and old-age that goes beyond the ordinary and predictable. Imagine a duel between two men. One, Daniele Mallarico, is a successful illustrator who, in the twilight of his years, feels that his reputation and his artistic prowess are fading. The other, Mario, is Daniele’s four-year-old grandson. Shut inside his childhood home—an apartment in the center of Naples that is filled with the ghosts of Mallarico’s past—grandfather and grandson match wits as Daniele heads toward a reckoning with his own ambitions and life choices. Outside the apartment, pulses Naples, a wily, violent, and passionate city whose influence can never be shaken.

Lahiri will be joined by Europa’s Editor in Chief, Michael Reynolds, for a discussion of her luminous new translation, her decision to live her creative life in a third language (Italian), the chaos and creativity of translation, and more.

“A powerful reflection on art, love, terror and the cosmos…Trick, in Jhumpa Lahiri’s excellent translation, is a marvel, and Domenico Starnone a contemporary master.”—Laird Hunt, author of The Evening Road

“Trick is fantastic—savage and funny and weirdly profound. A little masterpiece.”—Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You
