«Fango» is the short story collection by Niccolò Ammaniti, published by Mondadori in paperback (317 pages, in Italian).
Stories featuring young, disillusioned characters from urban and marginal Italy, portrayed without concessions. The tales combine horror, black humor and references to American cinema, and show a grotesque, nonconformist humanity moving between alienation and the search for meaning.
Originally published in 1996; this 1999 edition belongs to the Piccola Biblioteca Oscar collection (number 199). Nominated for the Bergamo Prize in 1997.
Aimed at readers of contemporary Italian fiction and short stories; text in Italian.
Niccolò Ammaniti is an Italian writer, winner of the Premio Strega in 2007 for As God Commands. He became noted in 2001 with the publication of I'm Not Scared, a novel which was later made into a movie directed by Gabriele Salvatores.
