The Voice of the Moon by Cavazzoni

'The Voice of the Moon is a strange book that is both entertaining and unsettling at the same time. What appealed to me most were the characters, the situations but above all a feeling, a tonality, something subtle and contradictory which brilliantly captures the topsy-turvy nature of everyday life.' Federico Fellini It could be that his name is Savini: what is certain is that puddles talk to him, colonies are obsessed by echoes and deserts are saddened by melancholy. This is the situation in normal times. At full moon, things really get out of hand. He falls for a lady with a hungry beak, Napoleon is routed in an orchard and Garibaldi loses his memory. A delightful story, The Voice of the Moon reflects the appearances that lie behind reality. Its wry humour is truly Fellini-esque.
