Jhumpa Lahiri sets her gaze on the eternally beautiful city, illuminating the frailties of the human condition and dissecting lives lived on the margins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA man recalls a summer party that awakens an alternative version of himself. A couple haunted by a tragic loss return to seek consolation. An outsider family is pushed out of the block in which they hoped to settle. A set of steps in a Roman neighbourhood connects the daily lives of the city's myriad inhabitants. This is an evocative fresco of Rome, the most alluring character of all: contradictory, in constant transformation and a home to those who know they can't fully belong but choose it anyway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich with Lahiri's signature gifts, \u003ci\u003eRoman Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful work from one of the finest writers of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated from the Italian by Jhumpa Lahiri and Todd Portnowitz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJhumpa Lahiri is the Millicent C.
