The Beginnings by Antonio Moresco, translated by Max Lawton (Games of Eternity, 1) / 500-page paperback, 6 x 9 inches, published in 2026 by Deep Vellum / ISBN 9781646053957

***

The first book in Antonio Moresco's colossally disruptive Games of Eternity (Giochi dell’eternità) trilogy, translated into English for the first time.

Upon its publication in Italy, The Beginnings was exactly that: the dawning of a new era. Like a photo-negative of Franz Kafka, or Virginia Woolf, Moresco’s sweeping novel turns the stream-of-consciousness inside out, and offers nothing interior. Here, much like in real life, you will not be privy to the thoughts and feelings of others. Everything must be experienced as it happens.

From our narrator’s undergraduate years in seminary school, to his activities as a member of various Italian political factions, to his attempts to become a writer, The Beginnings is a shapeshifting journey across the 20th century, and across all of literature itself.
