«La fête du siècle» is the satirical novel by Niccolò Ammaniti, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (393 pages, in French).
A property magnate organises a decadent party for the city's elite at the Villa Ada in Rome. Among the guests, writer Fabrizio Ciba has been stuck on the second chapter of his novel for three years. The night takes a turn when the satanic sect «Los Enragés d'Abaddon» appears. Ammaniti composes a grotesque comedy about money, fame and vulgarity.
Originally published in Italian as «Che la festa cominci», the French version, translated by Myriem Bouzaher, came out on 14 April 2011.
For readers of social satire and black comedy who enjoy acid portraits of fame and power.
Niccolò Ammaniti is an Italian writer, winner of the Premio Strega in 2007 for As God Commands. He became noted in 2001 with the publication of I'm Not Scared, a novel which was later made into a movie directed by Gabriele Salvatores.
