Born near Laggo Maggiore in Italy in 1926, Dario Fo is an actor, playwright, comedian, director, songwriter and political campaigner. His first one-act play was produced in 1958 and since then he has written, directed and acted in over forty plays and theatrical productions. In 1997 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In the words of the Nobel Prize committee: “He if anyone merits the epithet of jester in the true meaning of that word. With a blend of laughter and gravity he opens our eyes to abuses and injustices in society and also the wider historical perspective in which they can be placed.” The Pope’s Daughter is his first novel. Antony Shugaar”s translations for Europa Editions include the Commissario Ricciardi novels by Maurizio de Giovanni, For Grace Received by Valeria Parrella, Fabio Bartolomei”s Alfa Romeo 1300 and Other Miracles, and Marghertia Dolce Vita by Stefano Benni.
