Description

Malinconico is a Neapolitan lawyer without a single case. His personal life is a shambles: his wife has left him, his two teenage children are screwing up their lives royally. But one day a miracle occurs. He is assigned a case! He has been named the defence attorney for a member of the Neapolitan underground, Mimmo the Burzone. The novel orbits around the bizarre mind of Malinconico, a mind that contemplates every aspect of the life he sees before him and a voice that seduces, entertains, and moves the reader from the first page to the last.
