Andrea Bajani releases award-winning novel L’anniversario

Andrea Bajani has released his latest novel, ‘L’anniversario’, published by Feltrinelli. The work, which has won the Premio Strega 2025, explores themes of family isolation and the struggle for individual liberation. The narrative follows a son recounting a decade of separation from his parents to escape a domestic environment characterized by pervasive, subtle violence and totalitarian control.

In a related literary context, discussions have emerged regarding Emmanuel Carrère’s latest project, ‘Kolchoz’. The work draws on personal history and European history, reflecting on family rituals and the collective nature of memory. Carrère’s writing style is noted for its use of the first person as an optical tool to witness real-world consequences and human secrets.
