  • MALE CHE NON C'E' by Giulia Caminito

A novel about the power of childhood and imagination, about the invisible evil that grazes us and about the possibility of being free again.

It all begins in the time of childhood, which Loris spends in his grandfather Tempesta's garden. When he is with his grandfather, the excessive need to read to chase away his anguish disappears and he learns wonderful things like building an aviary to raise pigeons, faithful and iridescent.

But now Loris is thirty, he has made reading his profession, he has an apartment and a girlfriend. But the job in the publishing house is precarious, 
the anxiety of not being up to adulthood crushes him, devours him.

Tempesta, the pigeons, childhood seem lost forever. Day after day, Loris slips into himself, focused on the alarm signals that his body sends him. There is an evil that besieges him, he is certain, an evil that no one sees except him, just as 
only he sees Catastrofe, the shape-shifting creature – cat eyes, fish skin, wolf ears – that sits beside him in the most difficult moments.

Once again 
Giulia Caminito chooses the path of the novel to tell the story of herself and her generation , which has not suffered wars or material deprivations but has been destined for the solitude of the Internet and precariousness. Her essential writing creates a dreamlike atmosphere, making hypochondria a memorable protagonist – the seductive and mocking Catastrofe – and staging, among the urban buildings, the dark forest that must be crossed to return to the light.
