When a breach birth leaves Paulo severely disabled, his father, the articulate, unsentimental Professor Frigerio, struggles to come to terms with his sons condition. Face to face with his own limitations, Frigerio confronts the strange way society around him handles Paolos handicaps and observes his surprising gifts. In spare, deeply affecting episodes, the professor of language explores the nuanced boundaries between normal and disabled worlds.A remarkable memoir of fathering, winner of the 2001 Strega Prize, Italys most prestigious literary honor,Born Twiceis noted Italian author Guiseppe Pontiggias American debut. Sometimes meditative, often humorous, and always probing, Pontiggias haunting characters linger and resound long after the book is done.
