The Story Of My Purity
We are delighted to welcome young Italian novelist and translator Francesco Pacifico to Hamish Hamilton. Alongside FSG in New York, we will be publishing the English translation of his forthcoming novel, The Story of My Purity, in Winter 2012. The story of a particularly Italian revolte du fils, it was described to us by one fellow writer as ‘the Roman Catholic answer to Portnoy’s Complaint’. We can’t wait.
