SuperBook – The Literature Prize of Prizes is a new literary initiative organized by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York to promote contemporary Italian literature in the United States. Inspired by the competitive spirit of the "Super Bowl," the project brings together eight Italian authors who have won major national literary prizes in 2025.
Over four days, audiences will meet award-winning writers through readings, conversations, and presentations of their books alongside translators, publishers, critics, and readers. The program offers a rare opportunity to discover some of the most significant voices in contemporary Italian writing and to engage directly with their work.
A jury with strong ties to the United States will later select the book with the greatest potential for the American market. The winning work will receive a $10,000 award supporting its translation and promotion in English.
