Book-Length Translations

Padri [Fathers] by Giorgia Tribuiani
In progress—World English rights available

Winner of the 2023 PEN Grant for the English Translation of Italian Literature

From the judges’ citation: “Italian literature is famous for its family sagas and familial conflicts, but what Giorgia Tribuiani wrote with Padri (Fathers) is a novel which upends those traditional themes and ideas. (…) The pathos that Isabella Corletto deftly infuses in her translation forms a lovely counterpoint to the seemingly absurd premise, resulting in a strikingly original text.”

Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails by Amalia Andrade
Penguin Books, 2020

A funny and wise guidebook and workbook for conquering fears, from the existential to the everyday, and defeating the monster those fears can become: anxiety.

“Amalia Andrade is back with another book packed full of kind-hearted, relatable, slightly manic, pop-culture-infused personal insight, and reflective prompts. Deeply human, this book on fear and anxiety has already touched many like-minded souls and is sure to continue its impact with this English translation.”
—Adam J. Kurtz, artist and author of 1 Page at a Time
