«Il paese delle meraviglie» is the novel by Giuseppe Culicchia, published by Garzanti in hardcover (327 pages, in Italian).
Two fourteen-year-old teenagers, Attila and Francesco «Franz» Zazzi, are inseparable friends despite being opposites: one dreamy and timid, the other rude and provocative. Through them, the novel combines friendship, the transition to adulthood and a satirical look at the Italy of their time, with black and ruthless humor.
The action takes place in 1977, during the Years of Lead in Italy; the novel was originally published in 2004.
For readers looking for coming-of-age novels with corrosive humor and an ironic look at 1970s Italy.
