By Giuseppe Berto; Translated by Gregory Conti; Foreword by Matteo Gilebbi

Newly translated into English, Giuseppe Berto’s 1973 novel Oh, Serafina! is a whimsical fable of ecology, lunacy, and love.

Glory

The Gospel of Judas, A Novel

By Giuseppe Berto; Translated by Gregory Conti; Foreword by Alessandro Vettori
