Short stories translated from Italian. Quite liked the main one, in which an old man reminisces about the three weeks of sex he had with a siren that were so perfect he never slept with a woman again.

@vivastory mentioned The Leopard, so I wanted to give a shout-out to the collection of Lampedusa's short works published by NYR books. The title story, The Professor and the Siren, is absolutely stunning: gorgeous, sensual, and shocking. Highly recommended!
