In post-war Naples, a young orphan grows up under the care of don Gaetano, a building porter and storyteller of war and resistance, credited with the ability to read minds. The novel deals with his coming of age, the discovery of love, and the historical memory of a wounded city.
Enrico "Erri" De Luca is an Italian novelist, translator and poet. He has been recognized by critic Giorgio De Rienzo of Corriere della Sera as "the writer of the decade". He is also known for his opposition to the Lyon-Turin high speed train line, and is being sued for having called for its sabotage. On 19 October 2015, De Luca was cleared of inciting criminal damage. He reacted to the not-guilty verdict declaring that "An injustice has been avoided."
