Scavare a fondo nel proprio dolore, raccontarlo con maturità e precisione al punto da far sentire sottopelle al lettore tutte le sensazioni del protagonista. Geniale e scioccante al tempo stesso, La vita oscena di Aldo Nove è un romanzo forte, di impatto, di maturità. Soprattutto è un romanzo autobiografico che lascia stupefatti per quello che il protagonista subisce, for the pain that life forces him to live almost as a child, for that will to annihilation as a reaction to anything that is gripping.
The protagonist, nameless in the novel, is forced to deal with the death of the young father and his sick mother in a few months. Left alone with an aunt who takes care of him, totally devastated by alcohol and drugs that help him to "forget to live," the young man will see his house reduced to pieces by an explosion caused by a gas leak. Unless a miracle, the boy will be sent to Milan to study but, in the closed room of his students, will go into the tunnel where the destruction of drugs, pornography and sex extreme to try to cancel payment himself and a life that fills it, but, unlike him into a vacuum cosmic pessimism.
Life obscene unfolds throughout the narrative capacity of Aldo Nove: With a style that influenced much of his poetic experience, a sophisticated vocabulary and depth of thought rarely found in other authors, the writer captures the reader and relive their experiences until you feel his pain. It is then that we understand what constitutes obscenity in the life: no pornography, excessive use of drugs and sexual practices in the experiences of many different, but in life crushes you in pain and upset you at age 14. The beautiful passage where the protagonist feels pity and affection for a bottle of coca cola from discounters: a recurring theme in the literature of Nine and that should make us think about how to customize the objects and the commodification of men (which will be found later in the book).
The protagonist as the author is saved from the abyss: a sign of hope and lucky for us that we can read from an author such as Nine, masterpieces of the genre.
