«De laatste zomer in de stad» is the novel by Gianfranco Calligarich, published in 2020 by Wereldbibliotheek, in paperback (176 pages, in Dutch).
The novel follows Leo Gazzara, a Milanese man of almost thirty who settles in Rome to escape the bourgeois future awaiting him. Between precarious jobs and commitment-free relationships, Leo meets Arianna, an enigmatic woman as restless as he is. The stormy relationship between them marks the last summer Leo spends in the city.
Work of Italian origin, translated into Dutch by Els van der Pluijm; the original Italian title is «L'ultima estate in città».
This cult novel, rediscovered in Italy and shortlisted for the Europese Literatuurprijs 2021, will appeal to readers of literary fiction and urban romances.
