Piergiorgio Pulixi’s crime novel wins the Corrado Alvaro Prize
The Rhegium Julii presentation in Reggio Calabria confirms the award for Il nido del corvo. The ceremony is scheduled for 13 November.
Piergiorgio Pulixi’s Il nido del corvo, published by Feltrinelli, has won the Corrado Alvaro Prize for fiction. The result was presented on 9 November at Palazzo San Giorgio, the town hall of Reggio Calabria, Italy, during a press conference for the 58th Rhegium Julii awards. The presentation ceremony is scheduled for 7pm on 13 November at the Teatro Francesco Cilea.
The novel begins with the disappearance of Angela Floris on Sardinia’s Sinis peninsula. Inspectors Daniel Corvo and Viola Zardi get a new lead when the young woman’s phone comes back on after months of silence. The novel can be read on its own, though Feltrinelli notes that some characters share a fictional world with La donna nel pozzo.
