“Masterful, there is no other word. Marco Amerighi's writing shines in this novel.”--Sandro Veronesi


“Randagi skillfully deals with the greatest of mysteries: to become adults” -- Critica Letteraria

 

本故事设定在意大利比萨、托斯卡纳以及西班牙马德里,故事的主人公Pietro Benati来自一个“受诅咒”的托斯卡纳家族。他的故事涉及到一个世代的人,反映了千禧一代的人的复杂性、躁动不安、失望以及愤怒。这本书会让你感受到许多不同层次的情感,比如兄弟之间的爱、父子之间的矛盾关系、男女之间的感情以及友情。


在比萨的一间挂满画像以及乐器的公寓里,Pietro Benati在等待自己消失。根据他的母亲,他们的家族被诅咒了:家族里的男性迟早都会离开。Pietro是家里最小的儿子,一个孤独的人,没有任何出众的特点,肯定也一样会消失。


首先是他的祖父,在伊索比亚的战争中消失,一年后带着耻辱之心回国。接着是1988年的父亲,是一名无可救药的赌徒,消失了一个月,回家后少了一根手指。当他的家族面临一桩丑事,Pietro确定他的时间也来临,但消失的人竟是哥哥Tommaso,一名具备潜力的足球员、数学天才以及Pietro唯一能依赖的人。Pietro这次毫发无损地度过了。


无论Pietro在他的音乐事业、大学学业或者女性关系上多么努力,他甚至搬家搬到西班牙,他总是达不到任何成绩。他的一生就是失败以及失望。直到有一天,他遇见了两位跟他一样流浪又困惑的朋友:Laurent以及Dora。在他们身边,Pietro终于找到生活中的光。


作者在书中描述了一个受困惑的一代年轻人:他们受伤、失望、在世界里找不到自己的位置,但从不妥协或放弃。

好评:

Marco Amerighi lives in Milan, where he works as a translator, editor and ghostwriter. Le nostre ore contate, his debut novel (Mondadori, 2018), won the Bagutta Opera Prima prize and was published in France. Randagi is his second novel.


“A book about the most important issue of all: the courage to explore oneself. And it is the same courage that Amerighi puts into the writing and vision of this relentless literary journey.” -- Marco Missiroli

 

“Randagi truly captures the essence of a time and of the powerless and disoriented generation that lived in it. Memorable characters and a beautiful, refined language… this is an important, rich and vital novel.” -- Silvia Ballestra

 

“A composite novel, rich in stories, rhythm and shifts in perspective. This is a riveting, refined work, that Marco Amerighi has written in a rare state of narrative grace.” -- Andrea Tarabbia, Tuttolibri – La Stampa

 

“Amerighi gets into the frustrations and aspirations of a generation of "strays". [This novel is] a great contribution to the retrospective portrait that Italian novelists are making of today's forty-somethings. Former runaway kids, displaced, deracinated, uncomfortable with rigid definitions, and finally able, now that they have a standpoint richer in words, to define the lack of boundaries (geographical, sexual, about identity) and to portray the time when they learned to be themselves." -- La Lettura – Il Corriere della Sera

 

“An intense story of tender and wild characters, of stray souls, and of the encounters that can change our lives. “-- Marie Claire
