«La città di Smeraldo e altri racconti» is Jennifer Egan's short story collection, published by Mondadori in hardback (211 pages, in Italian).
Eleven stories about ordinary people in search of something more: Sam chases in China the con man who ruined his life, Lucy discovers her happiness in Bora Bora is less real than it seems, and Rory clashes with the hostile side of New York. Loneliness, desire and regret in settings from Manhattan, Illinois, the Far East and Kenya.
Translated from English by Giovanna Granato, the work was originally published as «Emerald City» in 1993 and belongs to Mondadori's Scrittori italiani e stranieri collection.
A good gateway to Jennifer Egan's short fiction, ideal for readers of contemporary literary fiction.
