You Can Judge a Book by its Cover

The Italian version of Milk Treading has been published and is getting some good reviews.

On the Internet Bookshop site (IBS is a fine purveyor of international publications), one Cristiano Fabbri gives Traffico di Latte 5/5, saying: “This Scot has written a strange and shocking novel. The book’s cover already got me curious and then it kept all its promises.” (Or something like that – my Italian’s pretty rusty.)

‘Mario” only gives the novel 4/5, but he wants more. “Che roba!” he writes. “I hope more mozzafiato books like Traffico di Latte come out soon!”

Er… is there a translator of Italian slang in the house?
