Stefania Bertola
December 27, 1952
A writer and translator, she also worked for radio and television. Her novels blend sentiment, humor, and a sense of the surreal, often with a light and entertaining tone reminiscent of English-language chick lit. While her settings and themes diverge from the typical conventions of that genre, her distinct voice and approach to storytelling create a unique literary experience. She is also an accomplished translator from English, a screenwriter, and a radio author.
