Reviews
"John Domini enters the world of African immigrants in Naples living on the edge of the law, in a gripping, noir-ish thriller written in prose that somehow manages to be both elegant and hard-boiled. An absorbing read." - Salman Rushdie " The Color Inside a Melon is a barbed and scintillating take on Naples at its margins, a noirish journey through a world not just glimpsed from outside but enlivened from within with remarkable brio." -Zachary Lazar, author of Vengeance and Sway "What a timely novel John Domini has delivered. More importantly, what a magnificent work of art The Color Inside a Melon is--an absolute tour de force with life bursting from each line. These pages don't speak. They sing." -Steve Yarbrough, author of The Unmade World and The Realm of Last Chances "One of those rare novels full of secrets and mystery that will keep you thinking long after you're finished turning the pages. Full of rich humor, the novel follows Risto's adventures as he tries to uncoil a murder that too quickly consumes his life. Domini proves once again he is among the strongest writers of contemporary fiction working today. I loved it." --Brandon Hobson, National Book Award finalist and author of Where the Dead Sit Talking "Culture, conflict, character, color--the stuff of real life swirls through Domini's new novel, and it will take your breath away even as it buoys you up and bears you along." - Jon Clinch, author of FINN and KINGS OF THE EARTH "Question: Is there a white American writer from Des Moines, Iowa, audacious enough to write a novel from the perspective of a successful black African refugee from Mogadishu, Somalia, living in Naples, Italy, with an eye toward exploring race and culture via a literary murder mystery? Answer: yes, there is. His name is John Domini, and the novel is The Color inside a Melon . Domini is fearless, his prose is brilliant, and The Color inside a Melon is relentlessly engaging." --Ed Falco, author of Wolf Point and Saint John of the Five, "John Domini enters the world of African immigrants in Naples living on the edge of the law, in a gripping, noir-ish thriller written in prose that somehow manages to be both elegant and hard-boiled.

Synopsis
*Author has won countless awards and fellowships, including an NEA Fellowship in Creative Wrting (non-fiction), Ingram-Merrill Foundation Fellowship (fiction), Meridian Editors' Award (poetry), Iowa Arts Council Major Artist Grant (non-fiction), Northwestern U Center for the Writing Arts Study Grant (fiction) *Pulitzer prize finalist for an earlier work, Earthquake ID *Book reviewer and literary critic for the Washington Post, LitHub, Bookforum, Sewanee Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, Brooklyn Rail, and other publications *Author's nonfiction essays on Naples have appeared in the New York Times, Lit Hub, Necessary Fiction, Zone 3 , and elsewhere *Author has also won distinction in Italy, where he regularly tours and has connections to local booksellers; he was a featured speaker in Parole in Viaggio, Naples & Ravello, December 2017, "The narrative has its requisite share of mobsters, cops and bloodshed, but for Domini these are mainly pegs upon which to explore Risto's sense of displacement and belonging. ... Domini's novel is determined to push the noir--and us--out of well-worn ruts." -- The Washington Post A disastrous earthquake has Naples reeling. While the government scrambles to maintain appearances, poverty and anarchy rack the people on Italy's margins--the illegal immigrants out of Africa, known as the clandestini . One of whom has just been horrifically murdered. Enter Risto, a rare success story: a refugee from Mogadishu, orphaned in his teens, he's now married the Neapolitan Paola and is the proprietor of a celebrated art gallery. The murder recalls the deaths of his loved ones years ago in Mogadishu, a trauma Risto can't outrun. Thinking to force the hand of the white authorities, Risto begins his own investigation. But once he starts playing detective, he quickly gets in over his head. Worse, his digging seems to have brought on a strange hallucination: a golden halo only he can see, like a visionary's foretelling of death. Everyone he knows, including the woman he loves, seems to brim with secrets; every discovery Risto makes drives him toward an earthquake of his own. A portrait of turmoil inside and out, The Color Inside a Melon explores race and class, belonging and exclusion in one of the world's ancient cities. Prolific author, critic, and essayist John Domini delivers an unforgettable portrait of humanity's endless struggle between moving on and making a home., A disastrous earthquake has Naples reeling.
