“The Eternal Audience of One,” “Late Summer,” “Last Summer in the City” and “Waiting for the Waters to Rise” offer readers tales from around the globe.
Gianrico Carofiglio from Italy and Sheldon Zenner from Chicago will appear in conversation as they discuss Carofiglio s new novel, his career path from anti-Mafia prosecutor to full-time writer, his inspiration and writing life, and an inside look at the intricacies of the Italian justice system from two brilliant legal minds
The Measure of Time, translated by Howard Curtis, is the latest book in Carfofiglio s Guido Guerrieri crime series. It is set in the port city of Bari in Southern Italy. Against his own instincts, Guerrieri takes on an appeal against what looks like an unassailable murder conviction. The alleged perpetrator is the son of a former lover, Lorenza, who he met in 1987 when he had just graduated law school. The novel is both a thriller and a compassionate meditation about the ravages of time, as Guerrieri looks back on his life while investigating and forming a proper defense for his client.
