Mauro Covacich

Mauro Covacich, from Trieste, debuted with Storie di pazzi e di normali (Theoria, 1993), winning the Abraham Woursell Award from the University of Vienna several years and publications later. The discipline of running, which he deeply embraces, is connected with many of his works: traces of broad literary strides can be found in novels such as A perdifiato (Mondadori, 2003), Di chi è questo cuore (2019) and Sulla corsa (2021, both La nave di Teseo) and even in artistic installations such as L‘umiliazione delle stelle, made in 2010 as part of the pentalogy Ciclo delle stelle. The Brancati Award-winning La città interiore (2017), and his latest works, L‘avventura terrestre (2023) and Kafka (2024), were all published by La nave di Teseo. Latest work translated to German: Triest verkehrt (Wagenbach, 2012).
