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.

天哪絕對是我讀過的最最最最最最最最最好讀的英文書瞭。。。。。可是還是非常catchy啊啊啊啊啊
评分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。
评分好讀又幽默 Lakhous這個萌萌的大叔一定是經曆瞭很多關於生活與移民與人生的思考 纔能用這麼輕鬆又詼諧的語調 描述無數個令人唏噓的故事。
评分大緻瞭解瞭一下意大利曆史文化背景之後很多梗都能catch到瞭
评分源自於對Clash of Civilization這個理論的討論。標題能說明一切。描寫生動但內容乏味。
