A new event at GO with Tommaso Randazzo, author of Bordellain (ETS Edizioni). The author will be in conversation with Federico Tomasello. Readings will be performed by Valentina Testoni, with musical accompaniment by Fabrizio Mocata. We look forward to seeing you there!

The book:
Ruben no longer attends school; he has been confined to his room for weeks, immersed in his computer. He has been diagnosed with hikikomori syndrome, a condition affecting those who voluntarily withdraw into solitude and social isolation, often seeking refuge in the virtual world. Mario, a former basketball star who was forced to radically change his life after a nervous breakdown, is Ruben’s only contact with the outside world.
