NOW AVAILABLE: At last, after one year in the making! Constantine Furman's The Life of Marta, my very first novel--over 40,000 words of literary goodness. An elderly Italian actress comes to America and hauls a young man she meets here back to Italy. Dramatic shenanigans ensue; it's like Scent of a Woman with less suicide and whoo-ahs and heavily influenced by the Italian cinema of Bertolucci and Antonioni. A treatise on old age, friendship, kindness, and identity. This was a VERY different, personal sort of project for me and I am extremely proud of how it has eventually turned out. You owe it to yourself not to miss the story of the last great heroine of the decade! It's the perfect holiday stocking-stuffer for the literary buff in your family. Constantine Furman's The Life of Marta is available now at your Amazon of choice.
