Description
From Toronto to Rome, Thailand to Japan, Domenico Capilongo's Subtitles captures the intricacies of multi-layered and often multicultural relationships. These short stories are subtle and understated, without the usual climactic bang but with epiphanies that linger beyond the moment.
About the author
Born when rotary telephones came in multiple colours, Domenico Capilongo began writing with pencil and paper, passing poetry notes from the back of the class. He still writes in notebooks, used a typewriter in high school, and his earliest published poems were printed on a dot-matrix printer. His first books of poetry, I thought elvis was italian (2008) and hold the note (2010), as well as his first book of short fiction, Subtitles (Guernica, 2012), came very close to winning awards and were all mailed in the post. A high school creative writing teacher and karate instructor, he lives with his wife and children in Toronto.
