Distant Lightwas published by Archipelago in 2013. Richard Dixon lives and works in Italy. His translations include works by Umberto Eco, Roberto Calasso, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Paolo Volponi and Stefano Massini.
Praise for Distant Light: Despite its fable-like structure and brevity, Moresco has Kafka's power to unnerve, and Walser's genial strangeness. Something like a supernatural modernist story, Distant Light's real territory is dreams, where readers may find the book's imagery still lingering. --Publishers Weekly The imagery and language glow throughout. An unsettling and strangely tender novel. --Kirkus Reviews Antonio Moresco offers an otherworldly story of isolation. --Shelf Awareness Distant Light is a dense and thoughtful book that should be lingered over, rather than burned through. It dwells on esoteric questions, but also provides unsettling insight into the darkest depths of the human condition, as well as a uniquely complex rendering of its polarity. --The Literary Review
