La mia Brexit(Overlook)

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.27
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Francesco ha un sogno: diventare una star della comicità. Però in Italia, tra meste serate in provincia e qualche apparizione televisiva, la sua carriera non decolla. Così traduce i suoi monologhi in inglese, fa le valigie e parte per Londra, capitale europea della stand-up comedy. È il giugno 2016 e proprio quando lui decide di lasciare l'Italia per la Gran Bretagna, la Gran Bretagna decide di lasciare l'Unione europea e sull'immigrazione lancia al mondo un messaggio piuttosto chiaro. Se Francesco vuole sfondare deve farlo in fretta, perché presto o tardi potrebbe essere costretto a tornare indietro. Inizia così un viaggio alla scoperta della società inglese e della sua nuova condizione di straniero, in una giostra di alti e bassi: la frustrante gavetta nei comedy club, la nostalgia di casa e delle tende alle finestre, la solitudine combattuta su Tinder, la difficile relazione con un popolo che salta la cena per ubriacarsi di più, la maratona al Fringe festival di Edimburgo e poi i primi successi, gli spettacoli al Comedy Store, il sold out al Soho Theatre, il debutto sulla BBC. Il viaggio di Francesco l'ha portato lontano, eppure sorprendentemente vicino: perché è vedendosi da fuori che ci si può guardare dentro, ed è anche provando a scordarsi dell'Italia che ci si scopre italiani.
