About this listen

 Thousands of depressed little towns, villages and hamlets dot the vast plain where Cristiano Zena lives with his hard-drinking father Rino. Unfocused urban sprawl with no centre to look to and nothing to look forward to. Rino Zena and his cronies Danilo and Quattro Formaggi are planning a ram raid on an ATM using a converted tractor. The wary, adoring Cristiano sits in on their meetings, watching their half-baked plans unravel, and thinks about the unattainable Fabiana Ponticelli. He has no idea that something very, very bad is about to happen. Or that it will change his life forever...©2006 Niccolò Ammaniti. (P)2011 Bolinda Publishing Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction

Critic reviews

"A gruelling piece of fun…Ammaniti is a fearsomely gifted writer." (The Independent)
"Written with pace and a precision that is crafted with care and intelligence." (Weekend Press)
"Niccolò Ammaniti is one of Italy's brightest literary stars. His fiction combines tense horror with the blackest comedy and displays a knowing intelligence." (The Observer)
