From the festive Apocalypse of The Last New Year of humanity to the vicissitudes of Albertino, the protagonist of Fango, the episodes of Niccolò Ammaniti stage the new heroes of a borderline and metropolitan humanity, capable of passing lightly from a modest aspiration to a heinous crime. They are stories that mix all genres, from horror to comedy to Italian, finally finding in a grotesque comic vein the real common element. Stories in which a meticulous observation of reality blends with a wild fantasy, so even death turns into a sparkling spectacle. Great skill and superb sense of rhythm do the rest, giving this book the appearance of an authentic, unrepeatable jewel.
