Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a Piazza Vittorio by Amara Lakhous

nmrubeck's review against another edition

5.0

un romanzo corto e magnifico. dice tanto sulla cultura italiana e il suo rapporto con l’immigrazione in europa. il mio istruttore laureato mi ha prestata una coppia un’anno e mezzo fa e l’ho letta lentissimamente—non vedo l’ora di incontrarci di nuovo e glielo restituire. grazie mauro!

I don't know if I was informed enough about Italy's political landscape for this to hit right, but hey that's how you learn.
