Description
Tony Pagoda's story is one of excess and rebirth. After years of living life to the fullest in 1980s Italy, he finds himself drawn back to his old habits when an unexpected opportunity arises. As he navigates the temptations of his past and the challenges of a new century, Tony must confront the consequences of his choices. A charismatic singer with a talent for living large, Tony's life is marked by extravagance and excess. But after 18 years in Brazil, where his only concerns are the herculean cockroaches that share his space, he is tempted to return to Italy and reclaim his old life. Will he be able to resist the allure of his past, or will he find a way to balance his desires with the demands of a changing world? Paolo Sorrentino's debut novel is a powerful exploration of identity, excess, and the human condition. Through Tony's voice, Sorrentino offers a unique perspective on Italy and the modern world, one that is both humorous and thought-provoking.
