Book Description:
When a breach birth leaves Paulo severely disabled, his father, the articulate, unsentimental Professor Frigerio, struggles to come to terms with his son s condition. Face to face with his own limitations, Frigerio confronts the strange way society around him handles Paolo s 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, Italy s most prestigious literary honor, Born Twice is noted Italian author Guiseppe Pontiggia s American debut. Sometimes meditative, often humorous, and always probing, Pontiggia s haunting characters linger and resound long after the book is done.
