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.

评分大致了解了一下意大利历史文化背景之后很多梗都能catch到了
评分这学期上这个作者开的一门课，Lakhous真是学识渊博又和蔼。这是本非常幽默讽刺的小说，从不同文化背景的人物的角度描绘罗马外来者的生活细节，小说中很多观点值得分析，可以说涵盖了无数社会学，人类学，哲学的暗示。
评分随手翻了翻要求本科生入学时人人必读并要参与讨论的小说，大概关于身份认同和政治正确的教育再怎么多都不为过。
评分"I have no consolation but wailing. Auuuuuuuuu..."
