writer and storyteller<\/p>\n
The only Italian author in history to have received a Tony Award, the Oscar of the American theatre, (as well as winning both the Drama League Award 2022 and the Outer Critics Circle Award 2022)<\/p>\n
Massini is a writer who has his distinctive feature in combining a strong literary streak with a strong flair as a live narrator.
\nWith its narrative frescoes it “touches the heart and mind”, excites and makes us reflect, creating short circuits with a unique style.
\nThe general Italian public discovered him with his refined and surprising interventions on television in Piazzapulita, and in other television programs, such as Ricomincio da Rai 3.
\nSince 2016 he has collaborated with the newspaper La Repubblica.
\nPop popularizer, scathing, ironic, unsettling, far from the aura of the self-congratulatory and elitist intellectual, he is a composer and “decomposer” of words and stories, an investigator of everyday stories and states of mind.
\nHis special ‘lessons’-stories about books in the talent show Amici made him known and appreciated even by the very young public.
\nHis texts have been translated into 27 languages and staged from Broadway to the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise, by directors such as Luca Ronconi or Oscar winner Sam Mendes.
\nSomething about Lehman (Mondadori 2016) was one of the most acclaimed novels of recent years (Selezione Campiello prize, SuperMondello prize, De Sica prize, Prix M\u00e9dicis Essai, Prix Meilleur Livre \u00c9tranger). His latest books are Dizionario inesistente (Mondadori 2018), Ladies Football Club (Mondadori 2019), Eichmann. Dove inizia la notte (Fandango 2020) and Survival Manual. Messaggi in bottiglia d\u2019inizio millennio (Il Mulino 2021).
\nHis new theatrical work, already being translated in many countries, is the monumental Manhattan Project, a theatrical fresco of over 5 hours on the birth of the atomic bomb, published in Italy by Einaudi (March 2023). <\/p>\n
