Recensione:
"The story in The Last Man Standing might sound familiar, if it weren't for the fact that Davide Longo has written it better than anyone else." —Daria Bignardi, Vanity Fair
"A bleak, lyrical tale that evokes Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. . . . Gruesome, intense, and strange . . . a eruozone nightmare brought to life on the page." —James Lovegrove, Financial Times
"A wealth of imagery carries the reader through scenes of torture and youthful atrocities along a landscape as stark as Comac McCarthy's The Road. But those who stick with Leonardo will be rewarded."—Library Journal
“A searing, dystopian parable . . . [A] remarkable book . . . Longo's characters get in touch with the basest parts of themselves in order to preserve what is denigrated as “the most arid.” . . . Visceral and gripping.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"A novel in which precision of language is as crucial an element as the steadily accelerating tension." —Barry Forshaw, The Independent
