Sardinian Stories by Grazia Deledda, Translated by Steve Amoia

A remarkable collection from a legendary Italian writer, Sardinian Stories by Grazia Deledda contains newly translated versions of a selection of her tales by Steve Amoia. Capturing the charm and tension of everything from pastoral versions of justice to magical mysteries in the mountain towns of Italy, these are engagingly varied stories of family tension, cultural expectation, and forbidden love, from the darkly romantic to the eccentrically surreal. The translations are strong, though certain phrases feel anachronistic, and not fully reflective of the mood or time period in which the stories are set. However, the prose is enrapturing, as each […]

My Journey With OCD by Steve Amoia

My Journey With OCD by Steve Amoia

Author Steve Amoia presents his comprehensive and brutally honest story in My Journey With OCD, tackling the ins and outs of this surprisingly common condition, yet one that remains stigmatized and poorly understood in many circles.

Some of the prose could be tightened up or slimmed down with a careful edit, as there are important points that are overshadowed in repetition or circuitous language. However, Amoia lays out the science in a clear and accessible way, supporting […]

The Frederick Douglass Project by Steve Amoia

The Frederick Douglass Project by Steve Amoia

Pairing the writings and wisdom of Frederick Douglass with the dynamic events and political structures of our modern world, The Frederick Douglass Project by Steve Amoia is both educational and rousing. Composed of short essays and articles written in 2007 and repurposed for the collection, this is a well-researched homage to one of America’s most impactful abolitionists. Today, in an era when those same claims of racism and injustice are ringing loudly across the country, Amoia’s accessible and inspiring pieces resonate greatly.
