Night Passengers
Number One Bestseller
Film TV rights sold to Anele
“Carofiglio creates a writing method that becomes a precise poetics.”
Corriere della Sera
“Passeggeri notturni reveals a peculiar political profile of the author, made of literary experimentation and concise writing.”
Corriere del Mezzogiorno
“One day a monk met a Zen master and tried to make him uncomfortable by asking: ‘Without words and without silence, can you tell me what reality is?’ The master punched him in the face.”
Voices reverberating in the darkness of half-empty wagons, lights flashing out of conversation fragments, scents hidden in memory’s crevices. The titles of this collection – thirty three-page pieces – belong to different genres: a series of anecdotes, brief essays and striking stories.
They are inhabited above all by elusive and unforgettable females, and dramatic or bitter events alternate with comic situations in a constant play of mirrors blurring reality and fiction. Holding everything together like in a mosaic is a prose as clear as the night air, capable of revealing the truth sealed in the details of existence with a masterful economy of words.
It is an almanac of unexpected solutions, ironic revelations, astonishing accidents of thought. It is a cheerful and bold bet on the extraordinary power of characters, stories, and literature.
