Everybody's Right by Paolo Sorrentino
Im riding across a terrain of buried curiosity, the adrenaline is starting to flow again, and the old obsessions are coming back: I want to start doing cocaine every day, I want to run after every female who passes, I want to smell the smells of Italy again, I want my old life back.
"Frequently funny writing.. The story speeds along with a fast-moving, Raymond Chandler type plot, although it finishes with a shocking tenderness" * Daily Mail *
"[A] visceral first-person account and fantastically unreliable narration brilliantly capturing the brand of modern-day Italy that Berlusconi exported… A novel of bleak gallows humour" * GQ *
"Flooded with neat aphorisms and winning vignettes…it works as a cock-eyed state-of-the-nation address after the years of Berlusconification… A blackly comic birl through a life of excess, regret and reflection" * Glasgow Sunday Herald *
"A furious, ironic, idiosyncratic, unexpurgated torrent, capturing Italian modernity" * Kirkus *
"Sorrentino uses this novel to deal with Italy's unstoppable descent into today's dazed, corrupted and tragically foolish reality...[in] exceptionally adventurous language" * La Repubblica *
