From the inimitable Rabih Alameddine - National Book Award finalist and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award - comes a tragicomic saga set in Lebanon, a modern story of family, memory, and the unbreakable (and insane) attachment of a son and his mother.In a tiny Beirut apartment, sixty-three-year-old Raja and his mother live side by side. A beloved high school philosophy teacher and 'the neighborhood homosexual,' Raja relishes books, meditative walks, order, and solitude. Zalfa, his octogenarian mother, views her son's privacy as a personal affront. She craves nothing more than to know the ins and outs of Raja's work life and love life, boundaries be damned.When Raja receives an invite to an all-expenses-paid writing residency in America, the timing couldn't be better. It arrives on the heels of a series of personal and national disasters that have left Raja itching for peace and quiet away from his mother and the heartache of Lebanon. But what at first seems a stroke of good fortune soon leads Raja to recount and relive the very disasters and past betrayals he wishes to leave behind.Wickedly funny, heartbreaking, and told in Raja's irresistible voice, The True, True Story of Raja the Gullible dances across six decades to tell the unforgettable story of a singular life and its absurdities - a tale of mistakes, self-discovery, trauma, and maybe even forgiveness. Above all, it's a wild and sparkling celebration of love.

In un futuro molto simile al nostro presente lItalia e governata da un non-partito nato in Internet che ha vinto le elezioni promettendo una democrazia diretta e onesta grazie al web. Leonardo e Camilla sono giovani e laureati, e in quellItalia vogliono costruirsi una vita. Hanno votato entrambi per il movimento e nei loro progetti ce anche lacquisto di una casa. Le condizioni proibitive dei mutui sembrano essere un ostacolo fino a quando Leonardo riesce a ottenere un tasso agevolato. È unoperazione legale, che Leonardo e Camilla condividono sul forum del movimento. Ben presto fraintendimenti e rigidita ideologiche trasformano la vicenda in uno scandalo. Fra invidie e travisamenti Camilla e Leonardo faranno i conti con la mentalita dellalveare: una rete in cui tutti indagano, accusano, giudicano, e quasi nessuno ascolta prima di condannare. Vincenzo Latronico ci regala un pamphlet narrativo che mette il dito nelle contraddizioni della tanto vagheggiata, quanto divisiva alla prova dei fatti, democrazia diretta sul web.
