Fenoglio’s Langhe are like Conrad’s sea, a place where unresolved characters hide and struggle driven by an inner will, which has something mysterious. There is no nostalgia in this book, only a sense of bitterness deposited at the bottom of people.

La Paga Del Sabato is praised as one of the most beautiful books read by the reviewer, revealing Fenoglio’s early style and unique take on neorealism. Though initially rejected by Vittorini, the novel’s vivid portrayal of the Langhe and the flawed protagonist, Ettore, elevate it beyond average neorealist texts. Fenoglio distances himself from nostalgia and political agendas, offering raw, bitter insights into post-war Italian life. The novel’s setting functions more as atmosphere than direct influence on the protagonist’s psychology, highlighting Fenoglio’s distinct narrative voice. Dive into Fenoglio’s raw and unforgettable La Paga Del Sabato—experience the Langhe like never before.

"It falls within the most classic of Woody’s canons and brings back those lines we have grown to love: 'I was born into the Jewish faith but converted to Narcissism.'"

The beginning is very beautiful, like a conversation taken halfway through, it starts like this, without backstory, without anything: a pure immersion. Bret Easton Ellis seems to always talk about the same themes, each time in the same way, and appears confined to an era and a vaguely stereotyped socio-economic situation that ends up limiting his horizons.

Less Than Zero is essentially a criticism, somewhat prudish and simplistic, of the cynicism of consumer society. The novel truly has the rhythm of a music video, all in the first person, taking us around that iconic Los Angeles that has been mythologized for years.
