I qui presenti
by Bartolomei, Fabio
A visionary, dystopian novel about the unexpressed potential of the outcasts
Oscar is an outcast, a worthless drug dealer who wakes up one morning to find the world completely wiped out by a boundless and mysterious white void.
Despite the absolute nothingness that surrounds him, there are signs that elsewhere, in a parallel reality, their old world is going on as it always has. Oscar and Lisa, his reluctant girlfriend, have been somehow expelled by this reality: but Oscar will soon realise he can make the world reappear under his feet, and interact with people on the other side, the ones who are still living a ‘normal’ life. He now has a chance to finally change his own path.
In a journey to reshape and recreate his own world, Oscar will find a dignity he had forgotten, to express his human potential and free himself from a role society had squeezed him into: one of isolation, poverty and mediocrity.
