An Existential Ruin

A homeless generation? Vincenzo Latronico’s novel about Anna and Tom, two representatives of Berlin’s creative class, became a great success when it was translated into English in 2025. This spring, Perfection was also published in Norwegian. Latronico meets Morgenbladet’s books editor, Arne Borge, for a conversation about the ideal of authenticity—and about what the future holds for the Berlin hipster.
