Francesco Dimitri is the author of four books in English and several more in his native Italian. Originally from the Southern region of Puglia, Francesco moved to London at 27 without speaking a word of English and a decade later he published his first book in his adoptive tongue, To Read Aloud. Three more followed and his latest novel, The Dark Side of the Sky, will be published next Spring.
We discussed what prompted him to change his life and his writing language, how he learnt to translate his soul into English, and how his native Puglia remains in English a unique, mythical setting for his novels.
