Stories set in contemporary Italy portraying middle-class characters facing relationship crises, financial ruin, family losses, and an obsession with the past. With melancholic irony and attention to detail, Pascale shows how affections, like any mechanism, require maintenance to avoid ending in emotional short-circuit.
