Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio
Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio | Amara Lakhous
3 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
La sapiente e irresistibile miscela di satira di costume e romanzo giallo imperniato su una scoppiettante polifonia dialettale di gaddiana memoria (il Pasticciaccio sta sullo sfondo segreto della scena come un nume tutelare) la piccola folla multiculturale che anima le vicende di uno stabile a piazza Vittorio sorprende per la verità e la precisione dell’analisi antropologica il brio e l’apparente leggerezza del racconto. A partire dall’omicidio di un losco personaggio soprannominato “il Gladiatore” si snoda un’indagine che ci consente di penetrare nell’universo del più multietnico dei quartieri di Roma: piazza Vittorio.

Clash of Civilizations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio | Amara Lakhous
post image
Pickpick

After the much despised tenant Lorenzo AKA The Gladiator is murdered, the other tenants of a neighborhood in Rome are shocked when the police announce Amedeo as their prime suspect. A comedic Italian Rashomon, we are offered the neighbors & shop owners perspective of the crime & of their society, with an emphasis on the power struggles over the proper use of the elevator in Piazza Vittorio. Alternating between their testimonies is Amedeo's

vivastory thoughts on the same issues as well as the tenants themselves. I found this book on a clearance shelf while at HPB a couple of weeks ago & it was a pleasant surprise. A humorous read that contains interesting commentary on immigration issues.

Rereading this book for the Italian Book Club I organized on #Duolingo - it‘s turning out to be a good pick! It‘s fun, but still very relevant, with lots of interesting things to talk about. Lakhous does a great job creating his characters.

mmseiple @Eggs Thanks! : ) 5y
Insiberia Loved very much “Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana†when I was sixteen. Loved very much Piazza Vittorio when I lived in Rome. Thank you for the suggestion ;) 5y
mmseiple @Insiberia Quer pasticciaccio... is great! Love the way Gadda plays with words. I just picked up L‘Adalgisa, hope it‘s good too! 5y
