Forfora

Synopsis of Forfora

«Forfora e altre sventure» is a collection of twenty short stories by Pino Cacucci, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (190 pages, in Italian).

Twenty stories set between the Po Valley and Central America: an employee discovers the advantages of the death penalty; a mother hires a detective who turns out to be her son's dealer; neighbors attack a woman caught with a security guard. Irony and sarcasm portray everyday pettiness.
