Description
In the vibrant, atmospheric setting of 1960s Naples, a young boy named Mimi navigates the complex world shaped by his larger-than-life father, Federí. Federí, a railway clerk with dreams of artistic greatness, is a man of immense talent, ambition, and crippling frustration, whose fantasies and resentments cast a long shadow over his family. This masterful novel explores the intricate dynamics of fatherhood, the consuming nature of artistic aspiration, and the enduring power of place, as Mimi grapples with his father's legacy and his own identity. Domenico Starnone, celebrated for his profound insights into human relationships, crafts a rich tapestry of family life, ambition, and the indelible spirit of Naples.
