«Treno di panna» is Andrea De Carlo's debut novel, published by Mondadori in paperback (253 pages, in Italian).
Giovanni, a young Italian, arrives in Los Angeles without money and makes a living through humble jobs: sandwich-board man, waiter, and Italian teacher. His encounter with Marsha Mellows, a famous Hollywood actress, and the invitation to a party at her villa, encapsulate his clash with American culture and his youthful aspirations.
Originally published in 1981, the novel won the Giovanni Comisso Prize. This 1997 edition belongs to the I Miti collection.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction and stories of emigration and cultural contrast.
