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.

评分男主描述自己被切除包皮和新婚洞房那一段恶心得我生理上难受
评分从一个还没踏出国门的角度来看,这本书从情节到叙述上都显得有些平淡,很少引起共鸣,也没觉着书里表现文明的冲突有多深刻。似乎就是平常生活的写照,只是多了作为外来者的融入和归属问题,没有太多意外。啊可能事实上移民生活的本身也就是这么平淡的吧,还需要自己去体会。
