«Il contrario di uno» is a collection of 19 short stories and a poem by Erri De Luca, published by Universale Economica Feltrinelli in paperback (115 pages).
The stories and the poem that make up «Il contrario di uno» revolve around affections, memory and the search for happiness. Love, communism and justice appear as names of a shared joy, and the central idea is that two is not the double of one, but its opposite: an alliance that overcomes solitude.
The edition is in Italian; «Il contrario di uno» was originally published in 2003 and five stories had already appeared in 'I colpi dei sensi' (1993).
For readers of Italian fiction and short stories with an emotional and social background.
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".
