What is the book about

“Bastard stories” tells 27 episodes of real life, on whose background the chronicle of the time flowslike the tragedy of Vermicino. Baskets, beatings between contrary political factions, stolen scooters, snatch. Children who grow up in an adverse, strange reality, but who have left too many friends on the street, some for overdose, who killed. A book “Very Roman” The author defines it, but also very Italian. “Many people – explains Desario – They told me ‘look at your host was my Lecce, my Bergamo, my Udine’. The book speaks of everyday things and normal people, we are all the same. This was one of the reflections that prompted me to write it. ” Stories “all absolutely true”. They are 27 “but I would have been able to write 54” he says.

The book takes a photograph of “A serious dimension, the Levitas of stories that also lead you to a smile which, however, must be fallen in a particular reality. A reality that has little feedback in other parts of the country“, Says Gabrielli. A training novel, with the great news events that are the backdrop to the events of daily life of a group of kids in a land where to survive between hope and frustration.

In the book, the border between the lawful and the offense emerges of “very true” because The one “between normal life and the news is minimal” underlines the prosecutor General Nanni. “Our normality is very close to the tragic event or the crime. It is a very thin border and we do not realize it -it remarks -. From the subjective point of view I am a fanatic of the absolute respect for the rules. When you start violating a rule you know where you start, but you don’t know where you end up ”.

Innocent challenges and dangerous games, a “De Lama e de Fero” humanity, the metropolis and the city. A book that brings the reader to the heart of childhood and youth, which speaks the language of the road, melancholy and rough at the same time. Bastard stories that remind us how we were. And they help us understand how we are. The only thing that remains is to get strongly attaching to life. (by Marco Cherubini)
