La gente che sta bene

Synopsis of La gente che sta bene

«La gente che sta bene» is the novel by Federico Baccomo, published by Marsilio in paperback (270 pages, in Italian).

Giuseppe Ilario Sobreroni is a Milanese lawyer with an apparently perfect life: ideal family, money, and a rising career. When an interview and an invitation announce his success, his world begins to crack. Baccomo writes a social comedy full of irony about a narcissistic man who resists losing his place at the top.

Published in 2011, it is the first edition in the Marsilio X collection; on the cover the author appears as Federico Baccomo «Duchesne».

For readers of contemporary Italian fiction, especially those who appreciate urban portraits of ambitious characters.
