«Un mois à Sienne» is Hisham Matar's memoir, published by Folio in paperback (144 pages, in French).
At nineteen, Hisham Matar became fascinated by the Sienese school of painting; that same year he lost track of his father, probably in Gaddafi's prisons. Twenty years later, Matar travels to Siena and explores its streets and paintings. Between memory and art, the narrative reflects on how beauty connects us to those we love and have lost.
The French edition was published in 2023 and the translation is by Sarah Gurcel. The original text was published in 2019.
For readers of memoirs and art and travel books, especially those interested in Italian painting and family memory.
