A New York Times Notable Book of 2025A 2025 International Booker Prize Shortlist NomineeLonglisted for the 2025 National Book Award for Translated LiteratureWinner of AIRMAIL's Inaugural Tom Wolfe Literary Prize for FictionA scathing, provocative novel about contemporary existence by a rising star in Italian literature.Anna and Tom, an expat couple, have fashioned a dream life for themselves in Berlin. They are young digital "creatives" exploring the excitements of the city, freelancers without too many constraints, who spend their free time cultivating house plants and their images online. At first, they reasonably deduce that they've turned their passion for aesthetics into a viable, even enviable career, but the years go by, and Anna and Tom grow bored. As their friends move back home or move on, so their own work and sex lifeand the life of Berlin itselfbegin to lose their luster. An attempt to put their politics into action fizzles in embarrassed self-doubt. Edging closer to forty, they try living as digital nomads only to discover that, wherever they go, "the brand of oat milk in their flat whites was the same." PerfectionVincenzo Latronico's first book to be translated into Englishis a scathing novel about contemporary existence, a tale of two people gradually waking up to find themselves in various traps, wondering how it all came to be. Was it a lack of foresight, or were they just born too late? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Millennial expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, affordable, plant-filled apartment. Their life as young digital creatives revolves around slow cooking, Danish furniture, sexual experimentation and the citys twenty-four-hour party scene an ideal existence shared by an entire generation and tantalizingly lived out on social media. But beyond the images, dissatisfaction and ennui burgeon. Work becomes repetitive. Friends move back home, have children, grow up. Frustrated that their progressive politics amount to little more in practice than boycotting Uber, tipping in cash, or never eating tuna, Anna and Tom make a fruitless attempt at political activism. Feeling increasingly trapped in their picture-perfect life, the couple takes ever more radical steps in the pursuit of an authenticity and a sense of purpose perennially beyond their grasp. Superbly translated by Sophie Hughes, Vincenzo Latronicos Perfection is a taut, spare sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, scathing and brilliantly affecting. With the stylistic mastery of Georges Perec and nihilism of Michel Houellebecq, Perfection, superbly translated by Sophie Hughes, is a brilliantly scathing sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, beautifully written, impossibly bleak.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A razor-sharp novel from one Italy's most exciting authors, about a millennial couple's quest for authenticity in a life designed according to social media trends.They have everything to make them happy. Expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, plant-filled apartment. Young, cool digital creatives, they enjoy slow cooking, Danish furniture, progressive politics, sexual experimentation and the city's twenty-four-hour party scene.It's exactly the life they had imagined for themselves. But they begin to feel disillusioned, bored. Work becomes repetitive. Friends move away, have children, grow up. An attempt at political activism proves fruitless, since their direct action amounts to taking an Uber only if it is snowing, tipping in cash, never eating tuna.Trapped in a lifestyle optimised for digital perfection, yearning for authenticity, they find themselves doing something they could never have predicted.Vincenzo Latronico's stylistic mastery, wit and wry humour make Perfection a brilliant novel about contemporary life.PRAISE FOR PERFECTION-'A biting and incisive satire of the expat scene.' New York Times'A taut masterpiece.' Foyles'An all too recognisable snapshot of a generation that wants to be original, just like everyone else.' Observer'Engrossing enough to finish in one go' Better Read Than Dead'Sharp and revelatory. Latronico demonstrates that, despite their vanity, his characters Anna and Tom are not so different from others whose lives are conditioned by the consumer economy-they want what others want- a life that is legible to them yet not prescribed. Latronico is a brilliant and fearless writer. I recommend this novel to every reader I meet.' Ellena Savage, author of BlueberriesPerfection is a jewel of a novel- precisely cut, intricately faceted, prismatically dazzling at its heart. Vincenzo Latronico is the finest of writers.' Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds'This book gives startling form to the question of how to live a meaningful life; to the illusion that appearance is beauty; to the restlessness of contemporary society. I read it in a breath and I was captivated.' Ayseg l Savas, author of The Anthropologists'Perfection is dense with ideas, feelings, political insights, beautiful turns of phrase, unexpected observations about ordinary occurrences.' New Yorker Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize, this razor-sharp novel from one Italys most exciting authors follows a millennial couples quest for authenticity in a life designed according to social media trends Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Anna y Tom son una pareja de jóvenes que trabajan como diseñadores gráficos desde casa. Aprovechando la flexibilidad de movimientos que les proporciona su profesión, deciden instalarse en un luminoso apartamento en Berlín, capital cosmopolita por antonomasia, donde creen que podrán hacer realidad sus sueños. Esos sueños pasan por vivir sin ceñirse demasiado a las convenciones, reinventar códigos de conducta y explorar nuevos espacios. Ellos disfrutan con pasión de la comida, trasnochan, se dejan caer por fiestas ilegales, quieren creer que son una pareja abierta a la experimentación sexual, se esfuerzan por comprometerse con ideales políticos progresistas cuando se produce la crisis de los refugiados? Sin embargo, el tiempo pasa, la monotonía empieza a asomar, los amigos regresan a casa y tienen hijos, el trabajo creativo deviene rutinario y los ideales que parecían al alcance de la mano se muestran esquivos? Anna y Tom se sienten atrapados, empeñados en encontrar algo puro y verdadero. Pero ¿realmente existe? Vincenzo Latronico ha escrito una novela concisa y vibrante que es, al mismo tiempo que un abierto homenaje a Las cosas , de Georges Perec, una certera e implacable crónica generacional. El retrato de la quiebra de los ideales, de las dudas y decepciones que aparecen cuando, al ir cumpliendo años, se dejan los sueños atrás. Una parábola sobre nuestras vidas asediadas por las imágenes de las redes sociales y sobre la búsqueda de una autenticidad cada vez más frágil y rara. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
