Collection: Franco Lucentini

Carlo Fruttero (1926–2012) and Franco Lucentini (1920–2002) were decades-long literary collaborators. Together they edited anthologies of American literature and science fiction; contributed columns to Italian magazines and newspapers such as La Stampa and L’Espresso; published everything from a political satire of Muammar Gaddafi to a nonfiction handbook about choosing baby names; and most famously, wrote several crime and detective novels, of which The Sunday Woman was the first.
