L'inondazione di odio in Internet, i cori negli stadi contro i giocatori neri, il risveglio del demone antisemita, le spedizioni squadristiche contro gli omosessuali, i rimpianti di troppi politici per "i metodi di Hitler", le avanzate in tutta Europa dei partiti xenofobi, le milizie in divisa para-nazista, i pestaggi di disabili, le rivolte veneziane contro gli "zingari" anche se sono veneziani da secoli e fanno di cognome Pavan, gli omicidi di clochard, gli inni immondi alla purezza del sangue.

Nella ricostruzione di Gian Antonio Stella, ricca di fatti, personaggi, aneddoti, documenti, storie ignote o sconvolgenti, compare l'altra faccia della grande emigrazione italiana. Quella che meglio dovremmo conoscere proprio per capire, rispettare e amare ancora di più i nostri nonni, padri, madri e sorelle che partirono. Quella che abbiamo rimosso per ricordare solo gli "zii d'America" arricchiti e vincenti.

Quando solleva con le sue enormi mani da pugile la nipotina appena nata, il vecchio Primo esclama: "A me sembra più bella di tutte le altre". Ma la piccola ha la sindrome di Down e una grave malformazione cardiaca, sua madre Valentina non si riprenderà mai dallo shock (anzi finirà col morirne) e il padre Nevio è un povero ubriacone irresponsabile. Perciò saranno i nonni Primo e Nora a prendersi cura della bimba, dopo averla chiamata Letizia: come l'allegria contagiosa che dimostra fin da neonata

Mettere insieme, un alunno dopo l'altro, una classe di adulti analfabeti: questo cerca di fare Ariosto Aliquò, detto Osto. Figlio di un tappezziere puparo che dopo uno sgarbo involontario a un boss mafioso si è visto incendiare il teatro, Osto emigra dalla Sicilia in una terra ancora più povera, il Polesine: cerca di rastrellare gli scolari necessari a guadagnare, in base a una vecchia legge, il diritto a quello stipendio ridotto che spetta ai "maestri magri". Lì conosce Ines, una giovane vedova di guerra. E lì, in un mondo sospeso tra la terra e l'acqua, nasce un amore forte.

CALLUM - Lake and I never had a chance at normal. She was drop dead gorgeous from day one - our maid's granddaughter who became my mother's spoiled living doll. I hated that girl with all my heart and at the same time, I worshipped every inch of her skin, every word that she spoke. I lived for her and the twisted game of truth or dare we created to feed our f--ked up needs for shock, shame, and one-upping each other. Lake was my drug, my bad lifestyle choice. And I'd fallen in and out of love with her a thousand times till the day she disappeared.
