Questo sangue masticato
In his debut novel, Francesco Aloia comes to terms with the past and his family, keeping his grandmother Ada's teachings firmly in mind. After leaving home and finding his own path, he returns to the places of his childhood during a summer and confronts a particularly "overbearing" grandfather, Tanino 'e Bastimento, a man of honor who, after a couple of murders and many years in prison, after challenging a Camorra boss, now must face one final duel "in absentia"—this time with his grandson.

Di me non sai
Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel.
For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator.
"Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

La faccio breve
Ha ventiquattro anni, è per metà napoletano e per metà ungherese, ha studiato a Bologna, vorrebbe fare il regista ed è ancora in attesa di trovare la sua strada: è questo l’identikit di partenza del protagonista di La faccio breve, il brillante esordio di Davide Di Lorenzo.
Si chiama Davide, proprio come l’autore del romanzo, e lo incontriamo per la prima volta a Budapest, città in cui è nata e cresciuta sua madre. Si è lasciato alle spalle l’Italia, gli amici, la famiglia, e nonostante la vita all’estero non gli risparmi avventure grottesche la sua quotidianità è sonnolenta e girovaga.
Una trasferta a Berlino non cambierà le cose, che inizieranno invece a movimentarsi solo con l’ammissione a una scuola di cinema e il trasferimento a Roma. Il Pigneto, le nottate a ballare (e i conseguenti rocamboleschi rientri), la stanchezza e i nuovi incontri contribuiranno a risvegliare Davide, intento ad arrovellarsi su un mistero: la comparsa insensata, ma sempre più frequente, di un uovo rotto sul pianerottolo.
Davide Di Lorenzo riesce a raccontare con fedeltà ironica la vita quotidiana di un ragazzo sulla soglia dell’età adulta, tanto nella sua dimensione domestica e malinconica quanto nelle infinite serate romane, o nelle feste alcoliche in giro per l’Europa. La faccio breve è un romanzo scanzonato e commovente, che conserva tutto il ritmo sgangherato e la freschezza dei vent’anni.
