Sfòndati! 60 Storie per Rivoluzionarti il Cervello

by Douglas Coupland, Milena Sanfilippo (Translator)

Un uomo dentro a un costume da pollo si innamora di una donna dentro a un costume da pollo, un padre di famiglia diventa virale con un imbarazzante balletto improvvisato di fronte a un supermercato, una drag queen senza peli sulla lingua dispensa consigli sentimentali al suo vicino di posto in aereo, un assassino è costretto a rivelare un omicidio compiuto anni prima… Sono solo alcuni dei personaggi sopra le righe, brillanti e talvolta feroci che animano le pagine di "Sfòndati! 60 Storie per Rivoluzionarti il Cervello".

[Chiara Tassi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una carrellata di personaggi assurdi di questa nostra epoca surreale, che si rincorrono tra loro e mai troveranno loro stessi, perché l’identità oggi è una chimera ineffabile. Mosaico postmoderno.
