Дарът

Каква следа оставяме? На какво сме готови, за да постигнем целта си? Какво бихме пожертвали, за да сме в мир със себе си? Две двойки, чиито пътища не би трябвало да се пресекат – различно социално положение, образование, среда. Общото помежду им – мечтата за дете. Тя ги изправя един срещу друг в най-важната битка в живота им.

Di me non sai

Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel. For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator. "Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

Pornorama

Esta es la historia de una telaraña de hilos rotos: si se logra aferrar uno, el resto se nos escapan. Es la historia de una inquietante serie de muertos en el mundo del porno entre Roma, Milán y Túrin, pero es también la historia de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo por la inspectora jefe Vittoria De Feo. Es la historia de cómo una pareja de veinteañeros, Bet y Teo, terminó tras las mismas pistas en busca de una oportunidad para relanzar su propio blog, y es la historia del intento de un periodista de cotilleo de conseguir la primicia de su vida. En torno a sus complicadas pesquisas se mueve un coro surreal de personajes grotescos: cirujanos que se enriquecen comerciando juguetes sexuales inspirados en la anatomía de las estrellas porno fallecidas, abogados luciferinos que tienen a sus aprendices con correa, analistas forenses que intentan triunfar como youtubers, exactores de programas para niños caídos en desgracia, psiquiatras que se disfrazan de aguacates durante las sesiones, influencers verborrágicos pasados de cocaína, representantes empalagosos de actrices porno. Todo ello acompañado y aderezado con drogas sintéticas y contratos de sumisión, manos cortadas y crostata de limón, conejos domésticos y programas basura, tiendas de Ikea y platós pornográficos. Tras el hallazgo más puro se desentrañan conjugaciones de una pornografía del ser para la cual, a estas alturas, ya no existe nada obsceno.
