Fascinating Journey: The Publishing Story of Andrea Camilleri

In the realm of publishing, Camilleri’s journey began with the launch of Il Corso Delle Cose (“The Way Things Go”) in 1978. His subsequent work Un Filo di Fumo (“A Thread of Smoke”) closely followed, but neither of these pioneering attempts managed to garner significant attention, nor were they translated into English.

The tide finally turned with The Shape of Water, making a fanfare debut in the U.S. in 2002, although having been initially published in Italian back in 1994. This ardent novel brought Camilleri international acclaim and introduced readers globally to his books in order.
