Written by Stefano Cortese with a preface by Nando Vitali, this book explores the figure of the enigmatic writer Nicola Pugliese, author of the cult classic 'Malacqua'. Through a journey that becomes a meta-narrative, Cortese follows in Pugliese's footsteps, interviewing those who knew him to uncover the mysteries of his life and answer the ultimate question: why did he stop writing after the success of his debut novel?
The work offers a deep look into the human and intellectual journey of the man dubbed the 'Neapolitan Salinger', analyzing his voluntary exile and his literary legacy. It is an essential read for those interested in contemporary Italian literature and the lesser-known aspects of the life of one of its most fascinating authors.
