Dalla quarta di copertina

Praise for Cockroach: [A] dark and uncompromising vision. [Cockroach] offers a version of an émigré underground which is original, raw and brave. Colm Toibin A dark Dostoevskian fable, which lowers the reader into the sewers of immigrant Montreal to confront an underground world teeming with sex, crime and greedy insectoid life. Hari Kunzru Searing, affecting, misanthropic. Mohsin Hamid Most fiction writers are primarily either stylists or plotters, but Hage is clearly both. There s a slight jolting sensation as the narrative shifts gear from poetic to cinematic, with guns and knives and elaborately contrived set-ups replacing the earlier evocations of drains and flesh and wintry streets, but it s all managed with great brio and expertise.
