A stunning debut novel about the legacy of migration in a Moroccan Italian family.

Rizzoli Bookstore is delighted to partner with the Bridge Book Award to celebrate Tangerinn by Emanuela Anechoum (translated by Lucy Rand), a profound and resonant story of a woman’s search for belonging and identity between cultures. She will be in conversation with Edoardo Andreoni, followed by a signing.

This particular event is a part of the NYC Art and Craft in Translation Meetings and Dialogues on Literary Translation festival from April 13th to 15th — a three-day program, curated by Maria Ida Gaeta, with organizational support of Cathe Giffuni, Maria Gliozzi, Maria Letizia Rossi, and the collaboration of the representatives of the Institutions and Universities hosting the events, including the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, FUIS (Federazione Unitaria Italiana Scrittori), the CUNY Graduate Center, Hunter College — CUNY, Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò at NYU, Hunter College, the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute at Queens College, and Rizzoli Bookstore.

Art and Craft in Translation was created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Bridge Book Award (which over the course of its 10 editions has promoted 200 titles and as many authors, financing the translation of 40 books from Italian into English and vice versa) and to continue the reflections developed within the Festival “Multipli Forti — Voices from Contemporary Italian Literature” (which in its recent editions has presented more than 60 authors with their unpublished works to the New York public).

PLEASE NOTE: RSVPs are encouraged but not required. Seating is limited and will be first-come, first-served.
