E nessuno viene a prendermi

More about the book

Matteo Romano's life is upended on a surreal night in July 2019, exactly fifty years after the moon landing. The State network broadcasts an astonishing journey that plunges him from moral degradation into senseless violence, forcing him to confront the depths of human complicity. This reverse odyssey mirrors a chaotic blend of Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and Landis's "Into the Night," as Matteo desperately races around a circular truth that encapsulates his essence, only to harvest emptiness from a suddenly hostile world. Simone Cutri, born in Moncalieri in 1982, holds a master's degree in Literature, Linguistics, and Philology from the University of Turin. He is passionate about late 19th and early 20th-century prose literature, particularly the works of Gabriele D'Annunzio, Italo Svevo, Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire, Joris Karl Huysmans, Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, and Marcel Proust. He founded La Repubblica Estetica and is the author of "Gli anni da solo," his debut novel, and "Agosto Oltremare," a collection of prose poetry.
