Newly published this month is The Other Venice, a lyrical collection of nonfiction essays written by prolific essayist Predrag Matvejević and translated by Russell Valentino. Matvejević plumbs the depths of Venice's canals and peers into its narrow alleys, reimagining this ancient city through the people, places, and ideas that flourished within its confines. Whether the trattoria and taverns that line the canals, the culinary history of regional bread and breadmaking, or the excavation of islands and ships from swampy lagoons, The Other Venice infuses the city with the mystery and intrigue of ancient traditions and treasured secrets. An intimate and compelling travel memoir, The Other Venice sweeps us into an unfamiliar cityscape where the mysteries of the Old World mingle with modern life.
