«Bastogne» is the second novel by Italian writer Enrico Brizzi, published by Mondadori in paperback (208 pages, in Italian).
Set in Nice in the eighties, it follows Ermanno Claypool, a twenty-one-year-old amid drugs, alcohol and violence. The return of his cousin Jerry drags a band of deserters into a lightning war that ends in glory or tragedy. It is a surreal and unflinching tale against respectable society and its false alternatives.
Originally published in 1996, this 1998 Mondadori edition is number 105 in the I Miti collection.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction and generational stories with a transgressive tone.
Enrico Brizzi is an Italian writer. He is best known for his debut novel Jack Frusciante Has Left the Band, which is so far the only one translated into English. It also inspired the same name Italian movie in 1996.
