About this ebook

Stories full of suggestion, inspired by psychedelic visions and surreal encounters. Themes, situations and varied characters meet and confront: so we can go out to dinner with Michelle Pfeiffer, play poker with Jesus Christ and Charles Bukowski, suffocate ourselves with the monotony that we impose on ourselves. Jacopo teaches us that the Holy Spirit has the face of Bruce Springsteen and that all myths exist to be broken. What remains is a great and concrete desire that we cry out loud to the universe: to be reborn and be Yoko Ono, to know how it feels to steal John Lennon from the Beatles. The book is beautified by the illustrations of Marino D'Amore.
