Synopsis
Rome, Campo de’ Fiori—everything is the opposite of what it seems, or maybe not: an elegant woman runs in high heels, chased by an enraged chihuahua, triggering a series of incredible events. Because in Rome, augurs and gods still exist, as do cases of triple personalities. Charon ferries souls to the afterlife, hoping at least one will offer him a cigarette, and the videos uploaded to the YouTube channel Strapazzami di coccole are not cinematic edits. And someone must save Æmilia's life and all of humanity from the Nameless One. Or maybe not. A novel that makes you feel like one of them: a miniature god.
