Giovanni Floris is the most invisible television personality on television. Journalist, essayist, writer, Floris has published a breathtaking thriller novel. A story that happened by chance, in a slovenly Rome and yet drawn with tenderness, allows you to build a mystery and think about being and appearing, about true identity. Why does a wealthy and well-known public figure venture to meet a rough and clumsy suburban barber? What is he hiding? He must be hiding something shady. A novel about the construction of truths that the media too often pursue, ruining people and ruining their reputations; a novel about the anger that ignites politics and journalism without the breath for reflection, for attention to people, for the patience to build. A novel that is not intimate, adventurous, compelling, full of references to our time: in short, a rarity.
