An excellent short story written by Stefano Benni. The book is extremely difficult to describe, put its definitely black comedy in a grandiosa dystopia/utopia. I don't dare say much more. Great book. Read it. The story line is excellent and will make you laugh. It will blow your mind. This has been a great eye opener to me. Yeah I'm saying this is better than any drugs I've tried and I do enjoy my absinthe.

If you see it anywhere give it a try. Best books come form Europe. Main characters include a baol-wizard, ex-pornstar, a troupe of acrobatdwarfs, bartenders, pianists (play it again Sam, you can count on him) and much more.
