Roman Stories
I’m not usually a short story person – I like to spend a long time with characters – but this is an exquisite example of quality > quantity. I look forward to diving into a new perspective every night, and each vignette is a thoughtful deep dive into a new set of characters’ lives and corner of the city.
Plus, if I can’t make it to Rome IRL this summer, reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s beautiful stories is a close second.

“Sometimes when I think something I want to do is too challenging, I think about the fact that Jhumpa Lahiri learned Italian and then wrote short stories in it. You can do hard things!”

“Truly just feel that everything Jhumpa Lahiri creates is exquisite. I already knew she was a linguistic genius, and still it blew me away to learn that she originally wrote this in Italian and then translated it to English.”
