About The Event
with Iuri Moscardi and Clara Ramazzotti
Once again, Giulia Caminito chooses the path of the novel to tell her own story and that of her generation, one that has not endured wars or material deprivation but has instead inherited the loneliness of the Internet and precariousness. Her essential writing in this book opens up to a surprising dreamlike atmosphere, making hypochondria a memorable protagonist—the seductive and mocking Catastrofe—and setting the scene in the urban jungle where all our most painful experiences unfold. The Illness That Isn’t is a book about the power of imagination and childhood, a novel of a descent into hell and the climb back toward the bright origin that we can all, if we wish, return to, just as the pigeons know how to do.
