“A perfect balance between comedy and melancholy, sharp wit and ingenuous foolishness.” la Repubblica (full review)

“Bright Lights, Big City ten years later.” La Stampa 

“A promising and witty debut, an authentic voice.” Donna Moderna

“Post-juvenile and post-gay, Enjoy the Problem is a real camp novel.” l’Espresso

“Between anguish and humour, with a soft tone.” Corriere della Sera

The comedy of love of a serial single, on the road to monogamy.

New York City. One morning Martino wakes up in an unknown bed, a man and a woman by his side. No idea where he is and how he arrived there. That’s a good occasion for him to question his life, from a wild childhood in a village in Northern Italy, raised by an extravagant, radical-chic family, to his troubled discovery of sex. Caustic and irreverent, full of adventures and contradictions, Enjoy the Problem is the compelling debut of a talented video-artist.
