The Italian Cultural Institute of New York (ICINY) has launched an original new project dubbed the "SuperBook" competition, a prize-of-prizes format that will bring eight winners of Italy's leading literary awards to New York, Boston, and Philadelphia from March 26–29 for a series of events.
An American-based jury will choose a winning title, to be announced in September, which receives $10,000 for an English translation and promotion. The jury will be composed of 10 to 12 U.S. residents with strong connections to Italy and the ability to read Italian.
