        Fifty-Fifty. Warum and the Conerotic Adventures

        by Ezio Sinigaglia

        Fifí (he who half gives himself and half denies himself), is the name given by the narrator to the young man for whom he has renounced all other relationships. Their union, although exclusive and symbiotic, is a bizarre example of 'unrequited love'. In fact, Fifí prefers different, and above all non-erotic, ways to show his feelings. The variety of love languages thus apparently becomes the novel's main theme. The narrator relentlessly retraces the three years, six months, twelve days of this singular relationship: a season of enchantment, but also of abstinence and waiting, equal only to that endured by Stocky, their mutual friend and brilliant composer, who watches over them and the other six unforgettable characters, all guests at his picturesque villa in Versilia. Part part coming-of-age, part memoir, Fifty-Fifty is an irreverent comedy; its creative language takes us back to the exuberant world of the 1980s, through a carousel of figures and situations that amuse, surprise and move.

        Like wild beast

        by Giuse Alemanno

        Oppido Messapico, a small town in deepest Puglia. Costantino Ro chira and his henchmen plan to wipe out the rival mob family, the Sarmenta. It’s all about money and the neighboring Calabrese mob, the ‘Ndrangheta. But the plan works only halfway: by sheer luck the Sarmentas’ only son, Massimo aka Mattanza (Slaughter), a troubled and cruel kid, cheats death, together with his uncles and his cousin Santo. They all leave town on an old Fiat Regata, after clearing the family money and staging their own disappearance. Their trip leads them in the far North of Italy, in Lombardy’s Val Camonica, where an old friend and compatriot, Giovanni Argento, gives them shelter. There, Santo and Mattanza plot their revenge… “Like Wild Beasts” is a tough novel with hard-core nuances, sparing nothing and no one: a Tarantino movie, as told by Giovanni Verga.
