Description

Description

Cocaine is a brilliant black comedy that explores the darker side of 1920s Paris. Written by Dino Segre under his pen name Pitigrilli, this novel charts the downfall of its dandified hero Tito Arnaudi as he becomes embroiled in a world of lurid scandals and gruesome deaths. With elegant wit and wicked observation, Pitigrilli's protagonist invents sensational stories for the newspapers, but his own life soon becomes even more outrageous. The novel's descriptions of sex and drug use were once considered too provocative to be published, earning it a place on a list of forbidden books. Despite being written over 90 years ago, Cocaine retains its venom and remains a thought-provoking exploration of the excesses and decadence of a bygone era.
