Ma davvero è successo tutto questo? Una cavalcata in quel vero romanzo che è stata l'Italia degli ultimi trent'anni. È come guardare un film sulla nostra vita, in cui gli avvenimenti sono raccontati mentre succedono. Si comincia con Aldo Moro nella prigione del popolo, nell'anno che ha cambiato tutto. E poi, l'ascesa della mafia, il rapporto stretto tra crimine e potere, la guerra e i segreti di Cosa Nostra, i morti e i soldi che li hanno accompagnati.

Mario è un giovane contadino romagnolo, semplice e mite. Non ha sogni né desideri, e accetta con atavica rassegnazione la dura vita di lavoro e fatica che il destino gli ha assegnato. La sua esistenza procede così, nella ciclicità delle stagioni. Al compimento dei diciotto anni Mario riceve la cartolina di leva della Repubblica sociale: è il 1944, e per paura delle armi si sottrae all'arruolamento. Si rifugia prima da alcuni lontani parenti, che aiuta nei lavori più pesanti in cambio dell'ospitalità.

La storia della Chiesa cattolica è costellata di episodi che hanno ben poco a vedere con la fede e con l'ammaestramento delle anime. Dalla vera e propria guerriglia urbana per l'elezione del vescovo di Roma al traffico delle reliquie, dalla gestione delle catacombe alla definizione di tariffari per la visita ai luoghi santi e per la remissione dei peccati, sin da quando alle faccende di spirito si è affiancata l'attività commerciale e finanziaria un'ombra di peccato e di colpa ha oscurato le gerarchie ecclesiastiche.

In "La maggioranza deviante", pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1971, Franco Basaglia e Franca Ongaro Basaglia analizzano la tipologia della devianza e il suo inserimento all'interno del contesto sociale ed economico del periodo, quando in Italia la cultura psichiatrica era chiusa in una "ideologia della diversità" che sanciva l'inferiorità dell'altro (il malato di mente, il bambino difficile, l'immigrato). Il grosso problema che Basaglia mette in luce è costituito dall'organizzazione sociale custodialistico-punitiva.

Noi neghiamo dialetticamente il nostro mandato sociale che ci richiederebbe di considerare il malato come un non-uomo e, negandolo, neghiamo il malato come non-uomo. Noi neghiamo la disumanizzazione del malato come risultato ultimo della malattia, imputandone il livello di distruzione alle violenze dell'asilo, dell'istituto, delle sue mortificazioni e imposizioni; che ci rimandano poi alla violenza, alla prevaricazione, alle mortificazioni su cui si fonda il nostro sistema sociale. La depsichiatrizzazione è un po' il nostro leitmotiv.

1970, in una villa sul lago di Como la vedova Falconi amministra una residenza di vacanza frequentata da potenti, generali, magistrati, grandi avvocati.

Il protagonista - dietro i cui tratti ammicca l'ombra dell'autore - ascolta e divertito racconta, intrecciando ricordi personali e vita pubblica, temi scottanti e goliardia.

Tiyo Attallah Salah-El died in 2018 on “Slow Death Row” while serving a life sentence in a Pennsylvania prison. He was a man with a dizzying array of talents and vocations: author, scholar, teacher, musician, and activist: he was the founder of the Coalition for the Abolition of Prisons. He was also, as is apparent from the letters written over a decade and half to his friend Paul Alan Smith that make up this book, an extraordinarily eloquent correspondent.
