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.

Le meduse sono immortali finché non le catturano
Sara ha appena compiuto diciannove anni e, a causa di un trauma represso del passato, sente crescere dentro di sé la paura di morire proprio a quell’età. Per questo motivo trascorre sotto l’ombra dell’ansia l’estate che dovrebbe essere la più spensierata della sua vita, quella tra la fine del liceo e l’inizio dell’università. Esce con gli amici nei club alternativi, cerca di riconciliarsi con l’ex ragazzo Viktor, beve molto e desidera essere notata da tutti, anche se in realtà è una persona introversa.
Tutto cambia dopo che, in una stanza buia di un club, Sara ha la sua prima visione, in cui il trauma del passato prende vita: si ritrova di nuovo faccia a faccia con Lara, sua cugina morta proprio a diciannove anni. Sara si sveglia la mattina seguente con un formicolio al braccio; la sensazione si diffonde e Sara scopre di avere una malattia senza nome, con cui potrà convivere normalmente ma che la accompagnerà per sempre.
Prendendolo come un primo segnale che la sua paura della morte potrebbe essere fondata, Sara inizia a dedicarsi ossessivamente all’analisi del proprio corpo come qualcosa di fragile e transitorio e, attraverso queste riflessioni, cresce rapidamente. Inizia un corso di pittura, dove incontra Tisa e Balša: entrambi eccentrici, entrambi segnati da incontri passati con la
morte e da traumi sepolti. Sara trova in Tisa un modello, mentre si innamora di Balša. Attraverso il rapporto con loro, Sara affronta il suo presente, il suo futuro e il suo passato traumatico.
