A raucous debut novel of organized--and unorganized--crime. "A story that takes itself unseriously enough to be funny" (The Daily Beast, "This Week's Hot Reads").
Diego is a forty-something car salesman with a talent for telling half-truths. Fausto sells watches over the phone. Claudio manages (barely) his family-owned neighborhood supermarket. The characteristic common to each of these three men is their abject mediocrity. Yet, mediocrity being the mother of outrageous invention, they embark on a project that would be too ambitious in scope for any single one of them, let alone all three together. They decide to flee the city and to open a rustic holiday farmhouse in the Italian countryside outside Naples.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
