| Olivia Kate Cerrone |
Congratulations to our old friend Olivia Kate Cerrone on the recent publication of her new book, The Hunger Saint (Bordighera Press 2017), a historical novella set in post WWII-era Sicily about young Ntoni and the carusi, child-aged sulfur minors.
Olivia gave a wonderful presentation Thursday evening at the Italian American Museum in NYC’s historic Little Italy, reading excerpts from the book, discussing her years of research and answering everyone’s questions during the Q&A session.
While mingling with guests and enjoying some wine and cheese at the afterparty, we caught up with Olivia and discovered she is working on a new novel about the exploration of identity, set in Boston.
We also learned she will be speaking again on Thursday, April 27th (6PM) at I AM Books, the country’s first Italian American bookstore, in the heart of Boston’s iconic North End. If you are in area, we highly recommend going to the event.
We wish you all the best Olivia, and much success for the future. Bona fortuna e 'a Maronna t'accumpagna!
