Publishers Weekly STARRED review - ''Immensely engaging...both tender and emotionally wrenching, Amaniti's novel is unforgettable.''

Kirkus - "Nikolo Amaniti alleges brutally and sympathetically about adolescence." His 14-year-old hero Lorenzo Kum is a great character, part young Werther, part Kurt Cobain. The novella is cruel, lovely and ultimately heartbreaking.''

Annotation

"Me and You" by the Italian writer Niccolo Amaniti is a story told by a teenager about loneliness, fear and mistrust of the outside world, bullying and drug addiction. Lorenzo Kuhn is a 14-year-old boy locked in himself, he has no friends and is often bullied by his classmates. He realizes that he has only one solution: he must be like others and act "like a fly imitating a dangerous butterfly". However, he also knows that imitation is only a mask, a kind of games , which is the only way to survive in the cruel and aggressive world of teenagers. Lorenzo feels happy only when he is alone. Suddenly, a stranger, a 23-year-old half-sister, invades this cozy solitude, with whom the few days he spends will make him see the world in a different way.

Press Response

Independent UK - ''Amanit takes you on a remarkable journey through the fear of future responsibilities that await young people on the brink of adulthood, and it rings with all the irony, self-criticism and self-belief that is so familiar to teenagers. This is a powerful novel that will make us think about our own sibling relationships and our own teenage memories.''

Arts Fuse - ''Italian writer Niccolo Amaniti writes in a typically profane style about the moral plight of young people in small Italian towns. ``You and I'' is a minor effort in every way and covers that moral ground, except that the 14-year-old protagonist, Lorenzo Cumi, comes from a wealthy Roman family.''

Financial Times - In Me and You, Amanit eschews violence and dark humor in contrast to his recent books. It restores the subtlety and restraint in Lorenzo's artless and somewhat eccentric voice that he used in his most famous novel, I Am Not Afraid. This is where the author's enthusiasm for B-movies and comics is beautifully captured.''
