A compelling mix of social satire and murder mystery. A small culturally mixed community living in an apartment building in the center of Rome is thrown into disarray when one of the neighbors is murdered. An investigation ensues and as each of the victimas neighbors is questioned, the reader is offered an all-access pass into the most colorful neighborhood in contemporary Rome. Each character takes his or her turn center-stage, agiving evidence, a recounting his or her storyathe dramas of racial identity, the anxieties and misunderstandings born of a life spent on societyas margins, the daily humiliations provoked by mainstream cultureas fears and indifference, preconceptions and insensitivity. What emerges is a moving story that is common to us all, whether we live in Italy or Los Angeles. This novel is animated by a style that is as colorful as the neighborhood it describes and is characterized by seemingly effortless equipoise that borrows from the cinematic tradition of the Commedia allaItaliana as exemplified by directors such as Federico Fellini. At the heart of this bittersweet comedy told with affection and sensitivity is a social reality that we often tend to ignore and an anthropological analysis, refreshing in its generosity, that cannot fail to fascinate.

這學期上這個作者開的一門課,Lakhous真是學識淵博又和藹。這是本非常幽默諷刺的小說,從不同文化背景的人物的角度描繪羅馬外來者的生活細節,小說中很多觀點值得分析,可以說涵蓋瞭無數社會學,人類學,哲學的暗示。
评分非常好讀,而且很搞笑
评分從一個還沒踏齣國門的角度來看,這本書從情節到敘述上都顯得有些平淡,很少引起共鳴,也沒覺著書裏錶現文明的衝突有多深刻。似乎就是平常生活的寫照,隻是多瞭作為外來者的融入和歸屬問題,沒有太多意外。啊可能事實上移民生活的本身也就是這麼平淡的吧,還需要自己去體會。
评分討厭pizza那段 真的是笑死我 我笑點好低+_+
评分"I have no consolation but wailing. Auuuuuuuuu..."
