I WON’T BE LIKE YOU
by Paolo Cammilli
Description
In Lido di Magra, a village of few souls and a handful of houses a few kilometers from Versilia, the sea there, but only in summer. Because life around here lasts the time of
a season. Fabio Arricò, son of a quarrymen just fired fromthe drifts of the crisis, is a normal boy. But at seventeen, being normal means doing what others do, adjusting to the choices of the group even if you realize they’re wrong. The group, however, has a weakness and is called Caterina Valenti. She is tormented, fierce and irreverent. Too beautiful and disrespectful not to trigger an ambiguous short circuit. Deaf to the feeling that Fabio refuses to confess, but that he cannot even hide. More. There is something in his gaze that reveals a strange pleasure in humiliating him and making him suffer. As if he had something to make him pay. Adults, a sample of comic and inconclusive human figures, always arrive late. In this small world in which common lives doze, you suffer, you love, you fight but always in the wrong way. First I hurt, then I hid my face. And the result, a clockwork device that loads with frustration, is the most uncontrolled hatred, the one that drags down. What forces you to devise a night of unprecedented violence against those who cannot defend themselves.

-Camilli delves into human relationships and the human soul with lightness and introspective ability.
A novel about the homologation of our days, about the violence of certain adolescent loves, about
