The Italy Letters by Vi Khi Nao

A passionate, dark, sensual poetic read about a love affair. Told through letters, social media posts and texts, this feels like reading someone’s diary.

A dark comedy about the creeping underbelly of making it in Hollywood. Painfully good writing in the best kind of way, this read will annoy and delight.
