 - ROMAN STORIES is a collection of stories set in Rome, written originally in Italian by Lahiri and then translated to English with her editor.
- These stories are all about the atmosphere. They're beautiful, but a veil of sadness hangs over them all. In these stories, Rome is home and a foreign place for the protagonists, who are expats, immigrants, and other outsiders.
