Lahiri is an American writer of Bengali origins who chose to use the Italian language for her works, which were then translated all over the world. In 2021 you published the “Roman Stories” from which we will start on Thursday 20 June at 7.00 pm to go “beyond the threshold”, to be more precise, beyond the first threshold: the one concerning the relationship between cultures and languages.
Every Thursday, from 20 June to 5 September, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, Rome, we will cross an ideal threshold, symbolically represented by the nearby Magic or Alchemic Door, meeting authors and books who have distinguished themselves for having favored innovative paths of interpretation of reality.
