La versione tradotta in inglese di “Questa sera è già domani”, il romanzo di Lia Levi pubblicato dalle Edizioni E/O, Premio Strega Giovani nel 2018.
La trama in italiano
“Quella storia del troppo piccolo o troppo grande è una scusa, solo una scusa, cerchiamo di essere almeno sinceri con noi stessi. Forse essere ebreo è questo. Tu li cerchi e fuggi, loro ti accettano e ti cacciano”. A ottant’anni dalla promulgazione delle leggi razziali, Lia Levi ritorna con un romanzo ispirato a una storia vera: la vita di Luciano, l’amatissimo marito. Una vicenda di disperazione e coraggio realmente accaduta, ma completamente reinventata, che attraverso il filtro delle misteriose pieghe dell’anima ci riporta a un tragico recente passato.
La Traduzione
Translated from the Italian by Clarissa Botsford.
Inspired by true events, Lia Levi’s prize-winning novel tells the story of aJewish family and their community during the Fascist regime in Italy, when Benito Mussolini introduced his draconian race laws. Culminating with the tragic outbreak of World War II, Levi’s novel of loss and courage recounts the history of mid-century Europe through the eyes and lives of ordinary people living in extraordinary times.
Set in Genoa, Tonight Is Already Tomorrow skillfully weaves together the fates of a would-be genius son, a disappointed, regretful mother, a wise but irresolute father, an eccentric grandfather, nosy uncles, and sundry cousins. How do individuals face the darkest periods of history? Will anyone rebel against the spread of violence and discrimination? Will anyone welcome the members of this particular family if they decide to flee what amounts to certain persecution?
“Vivid and accessible, engaging and compelling, Levi gives her readers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the day-to-day life of a family subject to the race laws in Italy during Fascism.”
