Details: Synopsis from the book strip: "Already the protagonist of a thirty-page story, written by Luttazzi in 1999 and immediately destroyed, the character of the shameless entrepreneur and at the same time charmer of the masses is artistically realized, after years and attempts at imitation , in the Lolito of this novel. The entire work, in the form of an unscrupulous confession, includes, without scruple, a flood of words and situations so obscene that not even the most vigorous philistine broken by modern convictions would be able to remain indifferent; but if, to satisfy the respectable, the publisher should try to dilute or omit scenes that a certain type of mentality would define as "aphrodisiac", the publication of the text would have to be renounced altogether, as these scenes, which could be wrongly accused of their sensual autonomy, are instead the most strictly functional to the development of a tragic story that aims, without hesitation, at moral apotheosis. Even more conspicuous than the literary value, in fact, is the ethical impact that the book, unharmed, must have on the serious reader, so that a general teaching can derive from this abominable attempt at individual expiation. The misguided minor, the mature mother, the panting maniac, in fact, are not only vivid characters in an execrated story, but narrative functions which, pointing to powerful evils, warn against dangerous tendencies. Educating a better generation to build a more elegant world: this is the great warning that rises from the patinas of the book, this is the great responsibility that the times impose, this is the great challenge that awaits us. It's our turn. To each and everyone. CHARLES R*SS*LL*
