    About this ebook

    The bestselling author of I’m Not Scared delivers “a black thriller with the momentum of an action-packed Hollywood movie” (The Times Literary Supplement).
     
    The winner of the prestigious Strega Prize, As God Commands is a dizzying and compulsively readable novel set in a moribund town in industrial Italy, where a father and son contend with a hostile world and their own inner demons. The economically depressed village of Varrano, where Cristiano Zena lives with his hard-drinking, out-of-work father, Rino, is a world away from the picturesque towns of travel-brochure Italy. When Rino and his rough-edged cronies Danilo and Quattro Formaggi come up with a plan to reverse all their fortunes, Cristiano wonders if maybe their lives are poised for deliverance after all. But the plan goes horribly awry. On a night of apocalyptic weather, each character will act in a way that will have irreversible consequences for themselves and others, and Cristiano will find his life changed forever, and not in the way he had hoped. Gritty and relentless, As God Commands moves at breakneck speed, blending brutal violence, dark humor, and surprising tenderness. With clear-eyed affection, Niccolò Ammaniti introduces a cast of unforgettable characters trapped at the crossroads of hope and despair.
     
    “It is impossible not to be gripped.” —Financial Times
     
    “Punk-rock desperadoes and a daft father-son tragicomedy team run riot through the mess and splendor of today’s Italy . . . Propulsive from the first page . . . Not at all pretty, but darkly, ferociously beautiful—a triumph for Europe’s hottest novelist.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

    Niccolò Ammaniti

    Niccolò Ammaniti (Roma, 1966) es la gran figura literaria italiana de su generación, alabado por la crítica, galardonado con el Strega y el Viareggio, los premios más prestigiosos, con incontables lectores y traducido a 44 lenguas. Entre sus novelas destacan Te llevaré conmigo y No tengo miedo, que serán recuperadas próximamente por Anagrama. De él se ha escrito: "Está en lo más alto del muy fecundo y brillante grupo de jóvenes escritores de nuestros días" (Renato Barilli); "Un talento extraordinario, el escrito más versátil" (Antonio d'Orrico); "La nueva palabra italiana para el talento es Ammaniti" (The Times); "Ammaniti ha creado un retrato convincente de la Italia contemporánea, y ha aportado un necesario contrapeso a los retratos románticos y turísticos del país. Y aun así, a pesar de la dureza de su mundo, el calor humano burbujea entre sus grietas. Preferiría perderme en el mundo alienado de Ammaniti que en muchos otros" (Matthew Kneale, Financial Times); "Ammaniti es un escritor de una gran imaginación y una notable sutileza moral" (Times Literary Supplement).

      Very nice book, very chaotic again and most of all : where in "Dio's" name does Ammaniti finds the inspiration for the endless row of losers and unlucky bastards in his novels. It's amazing, some character descriptions are so real, it's like they live next to you. You can only feel sorry for them but then again they tend to get mixed up in the most outrageous situations that it becomes hilarious. All there adventures are so off limits that they make you feel bad, because of the reader's knowledge that things will end badly, but they also make you laugh by the way Ammaniti describes the course of events.Great novel, great writer.
    • 5/5
      Heartbreaking book about a group of friends with wild dreams to make their lives better and how it all goes wrong one stormy night in Italy, and a coming of age story about a 14 year old who finds himself picking up the pieces of their disastrous decisions. Cristiano and his father Reno lead a bleak life on the margins in a run-down house cluttered with anger, resentment and blame. Reno and his friends want to rob a bank while Cristiano just wants to get from one day to the next. What happens one night will change their lives forever. This book was impossible to put down and impossible to forget.
    • 5/5
      Ammaniti is utterly brilliant. I read "I'll Steal You Away" last year, and it was a devastating experience. One of the funniest, sadest, grittiest and moving books I have ever read. It took me weeks to get over it. This is perhaps not quite as successful - but its still much better than 95% of other writing. In the 80s there was a literary movement called Dirty Realism in the US; writers like Richard Ford and Jayne Anne Philips writing about the day to day people leading normal, gritty, working class lives. Ammaniti takes this to another level - he focuses on outsiders, in an Italy a million miles away from the tourist trail, the fashion centres and the historical monuments. His characters live at the bottom of the pile - and in this case comprise a fascist labourer, the village idiot (due to an accident with some power cables) and an alcoholic failing to get over the death of his daughter. This unlikely trio plan a ram raid, and the build up to the raid, and the consequences in the days after, form the basis of the plot. As always with Ammaniti, the central character is an adolescent boy, forced to become an adult before his time, let down by all the adults around him, making poor choices in impossible situations. Cristiano Zena is actually not as memorable a character as some of Ammanitii's other adolescent heros, and you may think that some of the acts he carries out may be logistically impossible for a 13 yr old boy. In fact, the characterisation of Fabiana Ponticelli, local teenage beauty and the exact opposite in every way to Cristiano, is perhaps better. Never the less Ammaniti brings to life Cristiano's small, fragile and hopeless world and the relationship between him and his appalling (to our eyes, not to Cristiano's) fascist father, is beautifuly brought to life. One gripe I do have is with the title. In Italian the title is "As God Commands" - and this is a much better title. Many of the characters beleive they are in the hands of God, or fate, and indeed each action taken leads inexorably to everything that could go wrong with the raid, going wrong, with consequences it would have been impossible for anyone to predict. Another quibble is that I was utterly engaged until "The Night" but in the aftermath, Ammanitti seems a little unsure of what to do with some of his characters, especially Cristiano. The end was somewhat unsatisfying - which is why I say that its not quite as good as "I'll Steal You Away". But still excellent, and highly recommended. But be warned - pick up an Ammanniti and say goodbye to any other plans for the day. He's impossible to put down
    • 4/5
      Photographies from a modern provincial reality in Italy, with an intelligent sense of humour.
    • 2/5
      Ammaniti hangt een rauwrealistisch beeld op van vier mensen in de marge van de hedendaagse Italiaanse maatschappij: werkloos, verslaafd aan alcohol, met radicale (extreemrechts, racistisch) ideeën over de wereld. Centraal zit een vader-zoon-verhaal met een hoog cliché-gehalte: in al hun armoede en hun soms felle botsingen zijn ze heel erg op elkaar betrokken. De verhaallijn zelf draait om het hilarische plan om een bancomat-apparaat uit de muur gelicht te krijgen. Het boek doet soms erg cliché-matig aan, maar het "pakt" wel omdat het de zelfkant van onze globaliserende maatschappij een hedendaags gezicht geeft.
    • 3/5
      A difficult one to review this. Very well written and an enjoyable read. Funny in the first half but getting more serious in the second, while ending in despair, which is part of the issue I have with this novel: in the beginning you are invited to laugh at these crazy characters but at the end you have to take them 100% serious in what becomes almost a pamphlet against modern society. The author's style is so convincing that he almost pulls off this tour de force. Almost, but not quite.
    • 5/5
      Brutal, messy, bleak, but hysterical in places. Manages to be both completely character driven and not afraid of balls-to-the-wall action. Did not predict how things were going to work out at all, but the progressions flowed, and I didn't feel played. I was engrossed. Not an easy read, content-wise, but beautifully done.
    • 5/5
      Yet another superb novel from Ammaniti (see also "Steal You Away" and "I 'm Not Scared"). Without any sentiment he draws the compelling grimness that is life for those on the margins. it is a story extremely well told (and I guess very well translated). The main characters sit around and drink alcahol to excess, smoke bongs, and make plans. Unfortunately they are unable to envisage the consequences of their plans. When other unconnected events intersect with their plans; they have way of dealing with outcomes. The images stay with you and unanswered questions about modern society rattle aroound in your head.
