"The crab is nibbled". This sentence burst into my brain, suddenly, one morning on my way to work. No, it's not a joke, Lo Sgronchio was born just like that. 
Thanks be to God, unlike the protagonist of the book, no ectoplasm appeared to me, but a fun challenge began for someone like myself, who is especially inclined to tell stories in which technology and political fiction are the real protagonists.
I've always thought that making people laugh, or at least smile, is much more difficult than conveying emotions or moving. 
It amused me so much that, as often happens, the characters have taken over and what should have been little more than a story has become a real novel.
Adventures worthy of the best Indiana Jones, secret organizations and ramshackle characters like the protagonists of the legendary Alan Ford, have kept me company for several months and amused all who have read it. I hope the same happens to you too.

​

PS There is a sequel to this book, about thirty pages at the moment, entitled Nagàda Davìda. If Lo Sgronchio had some success I might even be tempted to finish it.
