The only American finalists for the 2014 Premio Bottari Lattes Grinzane, honoring the year's best fiction published in Italy, are two gay men: Peter Cameron, for a belated translation of his early, deeply moving gay novel The Weekend [and Kindle], and Andrew Sean Greer, who won, for The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells [and Kindle], a book that suffered here for pubbing against Kate Atkinson's multiple lives novel Life After Life. The other finalists were Kim Leine (winner of last year's Nordic Council Literature Prize), Stefania Bertola, and Alessandro Mari.
