Osnangeles (Italian Edition) by Francesco Mandelli

By Francesco Mandelli

Osnago non è come l. a.. O forse è la a non essere come Osnago. O forse posti e luoghi non sono in grado di dividere e ordinare storie che sono di ogni dove e di tutti. Osnangeles è un pugno di tipologie umane, barbieri, pasticceri, spacciatori, robivecchi, anziani ma soprattutto ragazzi, come il rachitico Enrichetto, che tenta il suicidio regolarmente pur avendo, fortunato lui, il Fifty Malaguti. Osnangeles è un luogo dove il gergo giovanile si sposa con il dialetto, e dove le nuove parole del mondo, da leggins a transessuale, portano a un paese dove i pezzi del mondo che verrà si infrangono sulle coscienze in formazione dei suoi abitanti. Osnangeles è los angeles gioventù del nongiovane: una galleria di personaggi surreali, poetici, ingenui e divertenti lanciata insieme in una rincorsa verso scoperte, sconfitte e vittorie in una Osnangeles che piacerebbe (molto) anche a Los Angeles.
