Storie da ridere.... e da piangere
By Ercole Luigi Morselli
Eight tales that are comic and sad at once, opening in a ramshackle tavern on the Buenos Aires waterfront full of men who have lost pieces of themselves. Morselli's characters include hopeful inventors, lodgers, performers and dreamers, drawn with a playwright's ear for dialogue.
Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
