accatone! not sure if elsa morante was a zionist or not bc the nakba occurred in 1948…..and how could that not merit comment in “history”……….. also sorry they could never make me hate stalin the most lied on world leader……. i can see the merit in this book for sure, i love nino and davide is an interesting character maybe self insert. in mean yea the world has and continues  to go to shit but idk capitalism and communism do not lead to the same end and they are not the same………… in a way i respect the prescient blackpilled doomerism during the high tide of revolutionary optimism but i fundamentally disagree with her and im still with the partisans and Pasolini apparently………. ideology is important and a better world is possible.
