Publisher's Synopsis
It is a story that you read, breathlessly, with your guts in your hands. You can't follow it just with your mind, in a detached way, but only with the body that immediately, in addition to the guts, throws out all its instincts, moods, emotions and its anxieties. Then it's not just a book but something not well defined, to be touched, smelled, licked, something to be listened to, even to be sniffed if necessary.The theme of the Descensio ad Inferos, of the descent into oneself, after Homer and Dante has been told in various keys: poetic, dramatic, musical and even cinematographic. Dostoevsky, Conrad, Eliot are some of its interpreters up to Jim Morrison and Francis Coppola with his "Apocalypse Now". In "Street Guru" by Corto Monzese, there is a bit of it all, with the addition of a nice surprise ending.
