The immigrant tenants of a building in Rome offer skewed accounts of a murder in this prize-winning satire by the Algerian-born Italian author (Publishers Weekly). Piazza Vittorio is home to a polyglot community of immigrants who have come to Rome from all over the world. But when a tenant is murdered in the buildingâs elevator, the delicate balance is thrown into disarray. As each of the victimâs neighbors is questioned by the police, readers are offered an all-access pass into the most colorful neighborhood in contemporary Rome. With language as colorful as the neighborhood it describes, each character takes his or her turn âgiving evidence.â Their various stories reveal much about the drama of racial identity and the anxieties of a life spent on societyâs margins, but also bring to life the hilarious imbroglios of this melting pot Italian culture. âTheir frequently wild testimony teases out intriguing psychological and social insight alongside a playful whodunit plot.â âPublishers Weekly
