Tartufo is the hilarious tale of a crumbling Italian village where tourists only stop in to ask for directions. Little do the villagers know that the local truffle hunter has discovered a massive truffle, potentially worth six figures, with the power to either be the greatest gift or the foulest curse the village has ever seen.
Kira Jane Buxton‘s writing has appeared in The New York Times, NewYorker.com, McSweeney’s, The Rumpus, Huffington Post, and more. Her debut novel Hollow Kingdom was an Indie Next pick, a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor, the Audie Awards, and the Washington State Book Awards. She is also the author of Hollow Kingdom and Feral Creatures.
