«La cerimonia del massaggio» is Alan Bennett's humorous tale published by Adelphi in paperback, 95 pages, in Italian.
A funeral in London for someone who had held in their hands the crème de la crème of the city, of both sexes, becomes a worldly and atrociously intimate affair. The ceremony can fall apart over a disquieting saxophone solo, a panegyric on the deceased's anatomy, and the ironic gaze of a chronicler as punctilious as Bennett.
Volume 476 of the Piccola Biblioteca Adelphi. Translated by Giulia Arborio Mella and Marco Rossari; the English original, The Laying On of Hands: Stories, appeared in 2001.
A book for those who enjoy British humor and social satire, with the observant, ironic style characteristic of Alan Bennett.
Alan Bennett is an English playwright, author, actor and screenwriter. He has received numerous awards and honours including four BAFTA Awards, four Laurence Olivier Awards, and two Tony Awards. In 2005, he received the Society of London Theatre Special Award.
