An opportunity for literature. A writer-to-writer workshop.
In the EUNIC Norway’s series of workshops for writers where we invite well known authors from the different member countries to hold a workshop for Norwegian writers of different kind, we’ve now come to the Italian contribution. The IIC has invited the internationally renowned writer Claudia Durastanti.
Durastanti has titled her workshop The power of the words: writing and translating books.
Quote: In search of the lost language
Claudia Durastanti is an Italian writer and translator born in Brooklyn (1984). She is the curator of an Italian music column in the Internazionale magazine and collaborates with the newspaper La

Italian fellow in Literature at the American Academy in Rome and one of the founders of the Italian Festival of Literature in London, Durastanti was awarded the Premio Mondello Giovani for her first novel Un giorno verrò a lanciare sassi alla tua finestra (2010). Since then she has published several novels: A Chloe, per le ragioni sbagliate (2013), Cleopatra va in prigione (2016), La straniera (2019, shortlisted for the prestigious Premio Strega) and Missitalia (2024).
