«Anita» is the novel by Alain Elkann, published by Bordighera Press in paperback (94 pages, in English).
The narrator is called Milan because his mother admired Milan Kundera, though to everyone he is Misha: that is what she called him in memory of her brother, who died in a concentration camp. From that starting point, Alain Elkann builds a story about love and, above all, about the loss and grief that run through family relationships.
The work is part of the Crossings collection from Bordighera Press, number 32. English translation by K.E. Bättig von Wittelsbach.
For readers of contemporary fiction and translated Italian literature interested in stories about family memory, death, and grief.
