Dispute Over a Very Italian Piglet

Dispute Over a Very Italian Piglet

Itâ€™s October 2006. In a few months Romania will join the European Union. Meanwhile, the northern Italian town of Turin has been rocked by a series of deadly crimes involving Albanians and Romanians. Is this the latest eruption of a clan feud dating back centuries, or is the trouble being incited by local organized crime syndicates who routinely â€œinfectâ€ neighborhoods and then â€œcleanseâ€ them in order to earn big on property developments? Enzo LaganÃ , born in Turin to Southern Italian parents, is a journalist with a wry sense of humor who is determined to get to the bottom of this crime wave. But before he can do so, he has to settle a thorny issue concerning Gino, a small pig belonging to his Nigerian neighbor, Joseph. Who brought the pig to the neighborhood mosque? And for heavenâ€™s sake why?
Â
This multiethnic mystery from the author of Clash of Civilizations over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio pays homage to the cinematic tradition of the commedia allâ€™italiana as it probes the challenges and joys of life in a newly multicultural society.
