✦ Synopsis


Un centro commerciale che durante le campagne di sconto del Black Friday viene invaso da orde di consumatori-zombie; un parco a tema in cui i bianchi possono simulare di uccidere presunti malintenzionati neri; l'autore e la vittima di una sparatoria in una scuola che, dopo morti, cercano di prevenirne un'altra; un gruppo di attivisti neri che vendica con surreale violenza l'ennesima clamorosa assoluzione di un omicida razzista; un mondo postapocalittico in cui ogni giorno si ripete, in un loop eterno, una catastrofe nucleare. I dodici racconti di Nana Adjei-Brenyah sono un ritratto distopico degli Stati Uniti contemporanei, in cui la realtΓ  del consumismo, delle diseguaglianze di classe, delle tensioni razziali, dell'uso incontrollato delle armi da fuoco vengono portate alle loro estreme conseguenze, usando i dispositivi della satira, della narrativa fantastica, dell'horror. Al cuore delle storie restano perΓ² personaggi umani e credibili, nostri simili, che cercano di conservare la sanitΓ  mentale o la coerenza morale in un mondo che deraglia: a loro - a noi - l'autore affida la sua speranza.
