Cesare Pavese ちぇざれ ぱべぜ Winner

A set of closely linked short pieces set against summer landscapes, tracing youthful feeling and loss. Small everyday scenes connect to inner life, and loneliness, desire, and the anxiety of growing up are rendered with lyrical restraint.

A single summer’s memory sharpens the outline of youth and loss.
