\"Numero<\/a><\/p>\n

In the year 1992 an unsuccessful writer gets a job in an unconventional newspaper in Milan, sponsored by a media magnate who intents to use it to force his way into politics and if this rings a bell, this is a case of fiction where any similarities to real persons are not purely coincidental.<\/p>\n

When a member of the editorial team, will trust our hero with details of a story about the shady events surrounding the execution of Benito Mussolini and his mistress, near lake Como, things will get complicated.<\/p>\n

\nHow\u00a0 can a newspaper issue that will never be published explain the connection between the spoliered body of Duce\u00a0 exposed at the square of Piazzale Loreto , with the assassination of Aldo Moro,\u00a0 the Piazza Fontana Bombing, and the assassination attempt against pope John Paul II?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if \u201cNumero Zero\u201d will successfully answer all these questions but I do know that you will enjoy every page of this plausibility mind-game, challenging you to discover where facts stop and myth begins, and how immune have we become to atrocity.<\/p>\n

Umberto Eco, the Italian philosopher and author of 6 books among which \u201cFoucault\u2019s Pendulum\u201d and \u201cThe Name of the Rose,\u201d is back with \u00a0a surprisingly (considering\u00a0 the writers standards) slim novel that some critics described as satirical.<\/p>\n

Conspiracy theories parody\u00a0 or not, this book certainly gives Eco the opportunity to decry means and institutions that had a hand in nourishing the moral and cultural decadence\u00a0 that followed\u00a0 during the next decades in Italy and elsewhere and had their bits on the present situation in Europe .<\/p>\n

\u201cNumero Zero\u201d was originally published in Italy in January where it is already a best seller, with rights sold in 34 countries, while the English translation is expected to be released in the U.S.A and the U.K. in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
