About the Book
From the author of HOLLOW KINGDOM, a fantastically funny story featuring a cast of colorful characters in a dying Italian village --- and a giant truffle that changes their fate forever. Perfect for fans of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES.
After nearly losing the election to a geriatric donkey, newly installed Mayor Delizia Miccuci can’t help but feel like the sun has finally set on the rural Italian village of Lazzarini Boscarino. Tourists only stop by to ask for directions, Nonna Amara’s cherished ristorante is long shuttered, and the town hall is disgustingly overrun with glis glis poo --- even Postman Duccio has been disgraced. All that’s left is Bar Celebrità, a rustic establishment where weary locals gather to quibble over decades-long disputes, submit their poor stomachs to bartender Giuseppina’s volcanic espresso, and wonder what will become of the place where together they’ve spent their entire lives.
Little do the villagers know that local truffle hunter Giovanni Scarpazza has just happened upon something that could change everything. A truffle --- un tartufo, that is --- sits beneath the soil with the power to either be the greatest gift or the foulest curse the village has ever seen.
Written in the same enchanting style and raucous humor that defines HOLLOW KINGDOM and FERAL CREATURES, TARTUFO is a reflection on the interconnectedness of life in all its manifestations --- and how holding on to harmony in the face of hardship can grow something beautiful and rare beneath the surface.

Well, it’s the end of January, so it's time to examine what happened to all of those resolutions that were made in the champagne haze of New Year’s Eve.
On my end, I have upped my time at the health club and have organized a lot of my life. I still am juggling reading both print books and audiobooks. I have not carved out enough sitting-in-front-of-the-fire reading time. As the holidays wound down, I pictured Saturdays and Sundays stretched out on the couch much the same way that I do by the pool in the summer --- with a book in hand. Somehow, though, it never worked out like that. Football got in the way a lot. But with just the Super Bowl left on the football schedule, I am turning back to my weekend book reading plan. Let’s see how that goes.
