That’s right – Dan Rhodes’ Anthropology is being published in Italy this week, in a new translation from our friends at Newton Compton. They’ve called it Amore Amore. And why not?
It seems the whole country is going Amore Amore crazy – Rhodes even has a full page in Italian Vanity Fair, where the stories are described as being “però piccolo”, which we can just about understand. “Il risultato è un affresco unico di sentimenti,” they go on to say, “che sfugge al chiacchiericcio, non alle sorprese.” All this is beyond our vocabulary, so unfortunately we can’t tell if this means they like it or not. We expect they do, though – how could they not?
In other news, Rhodes’ new novel, an epic blockbuster (definitely not però piccolo, this one) called This Is Life, is currently being hosed down in preparation for a March 2012 release.
Happy reading.
