  1. 1. Ciao, A Domani

    An elegiac, autobiographical novella in which an aging narrator returns to his Midwestern hometown for a funeral and, while trying to account for loss and his own uneasy conscience, reconstructs a childhood friendship, a broken promise, and a violent murder that haunted the community—exploring memory, shame, and the quiet but lasting consequences of small acts of neglect.
