A compelling mix of social satire and murder mystery. A small culturally mixed community living in an apartment building in the center of Rome is thrown into disarray when one of the neighbors is murdered. An investigation ensues and as each of the victimas neighbors is questioned, the reader is offered an all-access pass into the most colorful neighborhood in contemporary Rome. Each character takes his or her turn center-stage, agiving evidence, a recounting his or her storyathe dramas of racial identity, the anxieties and misunderstandings born of a life spent on societyas margins, the daily humiliations provoked by mainstream cultureas fears and indifference, preconceptions and insensitivity. What emerges is a moving story that is common to us all, whether we live in Italy or Los Angeles. This novel is animated by a style that is as colorful as the neighborhood it describes and is characterized by seemingly effortless equipoise that borrows from the cinematic tradition of the Commedia allaItaliana as exemplified by directors such as Federico Fellini. At the heart of this bittersweet comedy told with affection and sensitivity is a social reality that we often tend to ignore and an anthropological analysis, refreshing in its generosity, that cannot fail to fascinate.

好讀又幽默 Lakhous這個萌萌的大叔一定是經曆瞭很多關於生活與移民與人生的思考 纔能用這麼輕鬆又詼諧的語調 描述無數個令人唏噓的故事。
评分"I have no consolation but wailing. Auuuuuuuuu..."
评分天哪絕對是我讀過的最最最最最最最最最好讀的英文書瞭。。。。。可是還是非常catchy啊啊啊啊啊
评分從一個還沒踏齣國門的角度來看，這本書從情節到敘述上都顯得有些平淡，很少引起共鳴，也沒覺著書裏錶現文明的衝突有多深刻。似乎就是平常生活的寫照，隻是多瞭作為外來者的融入和歸屬問題，沒有太多意外。啊可能事實上移民生活的本身也就是這麼平淡的吧，還需要自己去體會。
评分隨手翻瞭翻要求本科生入學時人人必讀並要參與討論的小說，大概關於身份認同和政治正確的教育再怎麼多都不為過。
