Inspired by Italian Twentieth Century novel (Moravia above all), Lahiri describes, through
nine stories of different lengths, a contradictory Rome. The eternal city redefines itself
transforming over generations in a transcultural hybrid of strangers and romans sharing the
same “out of place” feeling. The style, tending to metaphysics and epiphanic registers,
translates the cultural uprooting in an existential foreign condition.
