Thirteen-year-old Cristiano lives with his father Rino, a gormless neo-fascist, in a depressed semi-rural area of Italy. Rino and his drinking buddies are planning an ATM ram raid using a converted tractor. As he watches their half-baked plans unravel, he has no idea that something very bad is about to happen and will change his life forever.

The Crossroads | Niccolò Ammaniti
Pickpick

This was a shock to me. Lifted after hearing a review and as good as they said it was they did not get close. How can I love a lead character so loathsome as the father but I just did. If you are not a fan of black comedy avoid but I devoured this in no time and loved it all.

Gritty, sad yet funny and absurd. Rich characters.
