Fifty-Fifty. Warum and the Conerotic Adventures
by Ezio Sinigaglia
Description
Fifí (he who half gives himself and half denies himself), is the name given by the narrator to the young man for whom he has renounced all other relationships. Their union, although exclusive and symbiotic, is a bizarre example of 'unrequited love'. In fact, Fifí prefers different, and above all non-erotic, ways to show his feelings. The variety of love languages thus apparently becomes the novel's main theme. The narrator relentlessly retraces the three years, six months, twelve days of this singular relationship: a season of enchantment, but also of abstinence and waiting, equal only to that endured by Stocky, their mutual friend and brilliant composer, who watches over them and the other six unforgettable characters, all guests at his picturesque villa in Versilia.
Part part coming-of-age, part memoir, Fifty-Fifty is an irreverent comedy; its creative language takes us back to the exuberant world of the 1980s, through a carousel of figures and situations that amuse, surprise and move.

Endorsements
“Desire as acrobatics, physical and mental, flows continuously through the pages. ...] The prose is elaborate and rhythmic, the cut paradoxical [...] Fifty Fifty adds another title to a journey that is convincing for its coherence of themes and variety of expression.” Alessandro Beretta, Il Corriere della sera
“Ezio Sinigaglia is a writer of rare finesse and sensitivity, with passion and taste in linguistic research and exploration of styles.” Edgardo Franzosini
“Sinigaglia takes over the voice – the voices – of a world of yesterday, not unlike what took place with the novel in Il Pantarèi, only a few centuries further back in time”. Claudio Morandini
“Sinigaglia’s writing, bold, very unique, never lacking philosophical innuendos and capable of endless variations, is the most interesting (re)discovery in recent years.” Vanni Santoni
“We are captured by this licentious and baroque novella, delicately erotic and Boccaccian, which is nothing more than an amused song of love and a hymn to desire. There is in here a stunning language, love, desire, outdatedness. In a word, there is literature.” Andrea Tarabbia
