NOVELIST

Italia

A specialist in libertinism, Filippo d’Angelo has taught French literature. His first novel, La Fin de l’autre monde, puts Berlusconian Italy on trial: a disgusted witness of the shipwreck of his generation, Ludovico flirts dangerously with alcoholism. This brilliant, disillusioned thirty-something from a good family is happy only in his ambiguous relationship with his sister. Filippo d'Angelo describes today’s disillusions in a decaying Italy.
