Daniel Lipara, translated by Robin Myers

Another Life, Daniel Lipara’s subtle and shimmering debut, is a family history, an intimate epic, a travel story, and an initiation. Both meditative and cinematic, engaging both playfully and ardently with the Odyssey and Alice Oswald’s Memorial, this book chronicles a constellation of relatives pushed into the light by the centripetal force of death. Another Life is less elegy than eulogy, summoning a vibrant range of voices and tones—caustic, tender, solemn, ecstatic—to praise the many lives that fit inside each and every one of us.

PRAISE
