Gomorrah: Italy's Other Mafia by Roberto Saviano
1.0
“I discovered that there are difficult truths that...prefer to have a face that remains in the shadows because the things that are said are so personal that to add blood and flesh to them would mean two things: to give up authenticity of the story or to die of it.”
–Roberto Saviano
Brutal. That's the best way to describe the book.
It's scenes are gritty. It exposes some of the darkest parts of Italy and of globalization, from forced labor to the violent methods of enforcing one's position of power.
Saviano's tell-all was very important. I also think it wasn't quite for me.
