When his new ‘roommate’ turns out to be a stuffy, elbow-patches-on-blazer, permanent-frown-on-face professor, Bryce is furious. No way will he give up his bohemian pad without a fight.

The unforgettable narrator of this compelling, thought-provoking debut goes by two names in his two worlds. At the university he attends, he’s Gabriel, a seemingly ordinary, partying student learning about morality at a distance. But in his life outside the classroom, he’s Snoopz, a hard-living member of London’s gangs, well-acquainted with drugs, guns, stabbings, and robbery. Navigating these sides of himself, dealing with loving parents at the same time as treacherous, endangering friends and the looming threat of prison, he is forced to come to terms with who he really is.

And now that I’ve entered his world, I’ve become his ultimate fixation.

Storie viste dal marciapiede, dal basso di chi nei luoghi sta. Cartoline, brevi lettere, trenta racconti scritti come si fa quando si parte per davvero e si racconta una storia a qualcuno che si ama. Con lo stesso titolo era già uscito un altro racconto di Erri De Luca, alla fine degli anni Novanta. In quell'edizione c'erano le storie dei suoi viaggi nella Bosnia in guerra, nel pieno della Guerra civile jugoslava. In questo altro Pianoterra quelle storie non ci sono quasi più. Resta però identica la prospettiva di chi guarda. Perché questo audiolibro è un "atto di residenza".

But the evidence is slim, the timeline against it, and the men are soon released. The story turns into national tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved. For Claire and her parents, there is only the return home to broken lives.
