What Soda Gives The Best Gas

pianist Luca Rota - My girlfriend almost perfect

I learned of this book by chance, by chance as I have indeed read.
Rarely I am going to read books of latest release (this is May 2010), but I was curious of how I got it (but also by its cover, let's face!).

The book was printed by a small publishing house in Ravenna (reverse direction), has a soft cover and the picture looks like a cartoon, with a beautiful girl with breathtaking body in the foreground. The design I loved it!

Luca Rota is a young writer, and it shows. Just a few pages to figure it out. Young writing, young thinking, but deep inside, most of what the book might suggest, any more than the jokes scattered in different pages may have you believe.


Tratanti The protagonist is Tom, a normal boy of 35 years, accompanied by his dog Sandy, a strange dog that knows how to drive, it says. He speaks of himself, his wacky inventions, reflecting on extraterrestrial life, about complicated relationships, on personal physical defects that prevent normal social relations, but also falls in love with Tom, a beautiful girl, very beautiful, the kind that take your breath away. But the girl suffers from a rare, very rare, which prevents the two to live a peaceful and normal relationship to the couple and leads them to absurd and bizarre mating attempts, however, never concluded. The author focuses on the importance of love, values \u200b\u200bof life, trying to convey a message that starts precisely from the depths of superficiality. The externality may affect human relationships to the point of misleading them, cracked, destroy them? Today's society is far too full of appearance that I could not see beyond itself? Somewhere in the world there is someone who can see with different eyes, but the same as yours? So, how to extricate this maze (great and trivial) and to find any fulfillment that can not be "visual"?

The book is incredible. Maybe a little 'too extreme, with a slightly British humor that I was not particularly excited, but that allowed the author to accentuate the feeling of hopelessness that characterizes the protagonist (and perhaps, himself). Surely to understand, some jokes are really minimal and could perhaps be avoided, but it gets the idea of \u200b\u200binadequacy and social diversity. I can say the same outlandish disease of the girl, perhaps too great a defect surreal, where it seems almost more important to arrive at a conclusion that sexual other (even if it is just the other research that the author). Towards the end the writing becomes more loose and deep, as if the author wants to grant its pure interiority shaking off the jokes before. But they are only a few pages, and it is a pity.

short, an unusual novel, a young and easy to write, that perhaps we are not very prepared and we can perhaps smile. But in the end, in the final turn, where you think really come a very profound conclusion, the author chooses to be real and not to tell fairy tales. Showing, in full, and the membership in today's society that you want or do not want you incorporated, you must be bypassed and that, somehow, to survive.

"at the bottom, Sometimes, the flaws are used to extol the virtues "
" the future has a great value, from all points of view: until you arrive, you never know what will ... "
