Non tutti andremo in paradiso
In una mano una lattina di birra bionda, nell’altra un rosario, una sigaretta in bocca, gli Aerosmith alla radio. Tre ragazze che provano qualcosa l’una per l’altra, in viaggio attraverso la Polonia di provincia a bordo di una sgangherata Opel. Una racconta alle altre della sua vita: della prima scuola, della prima amicizia e del primo amore. Il viaggio spirituale negli anni Novanta e Duemila intrapreso dalla narratrice di questo romanzo on the road si rivela in realtà un'analisi penetrante dell'identità di classe e di genere, ma anche un tentativo di descrivere il desiderio omoerotico: dapprima completamente represso dall’eteronormatività, poi espresso in piccoli gesti e baci, infine, apertamente dichiarato durante un viaggio in auto. La sua destinazione geografica è Radom, ma quella esistenziale: la trasgressione, l’affermazione e l’esperienza estatica della libertà.

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.

Giorni come strani sintomi
Sisifo vaga per l’inferno spingendo una sedia a rotelle vuota e non sa di preciso che cosa ci faccia lì, eccetto che deve passare a prendere sua figlia – affetta da molteplici disabilità – dal centro diurno. Una missione che fallisce di continuo, e al termine della quale ritorna delusa nel fatiscente appartamento al piano terra di uno stravagante condominio. Quando la sua padrona di casa, apparentemente dal nulla, si mette a conversare con lei, Sisifo inizia di colpo a ricordare.
Giorni come strani sintomi è una lotta contro il tedio, un’indagine sui confini della maternità, della speranza e della disperazione, della vita e della morte.
