Nominee in Italy for the 2025 Piero Ottone Literary Prize

I’m delighted to share that UNDERJUNGLE has been nominated for the 2025 Premio Letterario Internazionale del Mare Piero Ottone, one of 21 Italian and 8 foreign novels published in Italy between March 2023 and December 2024 on the theme of “sea, islands, and navigation.” Somehow, it’s the only U.S. entry among them. One Italian and one foreign winner will be announced June 7, on the Island of Capraia, in the Province of Livorno.
