The Book of Morfeo — Stefano Benni

Morfeo is going to die. Or not.Addicted to prescription drugs by careless doctors and aggressive drug companies, Morfeo is dancing on the edge of disaster. A confrontation with his son forces him to face his addiction and take the road from which there is no return and no way forward. Aided by Bad Angels who have rebelled against God out of pity for humanity, he must run the gauntlet of the modern medical establishment and his own fears. For Morfeo, the only way out is through. If there is a way out. In The Book of Morfeo, Stefano Benni employs his trademark brand of humor, satire, and magical realism to tell a rollicking tale of redemption as darkly funny as it is uplifting in what La Repubblica called, a powerful, poignant book. THE AUTHORStefano Benni is widely considered to be Italy's greatest living literary author. He has sold 2.5 million copies of his books in Italy, equivalent to about 13.5 million copies in the U.S. market. His books have been translated into 32 languages.
