Strange Creatures

Strange Creatures (Mondadori, 1998), the author's first foray into narrative, talks about love and the night, two addictive passions for someone who is obsessive and black. Love and nocturnality around the series of meetings with the leader of a pseudo-beat "False Generation" inhabited by agonizing young people with whom the protagonist discovers the dazzles of drugs and alcohol or the temptations of bisexuality, but also the sad ease of betrayals and loneliness.

Written with the same urgency, fascination and irony with which it was lived, the novel is also a penetrating and lyrical fresco of the life of a youth rescued and saturated with recycled revivals, a plea against the false idols that seek to redeem it.

Too skinny to be healthy. Too beautiful to be dead. Too young in front of the world.
