Come può una società signorile essere anche di massa? Con questa paradossale definizione, Luca Ricolfi introduce una nuova, forse definitiva, categoria interpretativa, che scardina le idee correnti sulla società in cui viviamo. Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia d'Italia, ricorrono insieme tre condizioni: il numero di cittadini che non lavorano ha superato ampiamente il numero di cittadini che lavorano; l'accesso ai consumi opulenti ha raggiunto una larga parte della popolazione; l'economia è entrata in stagnazione e la produttività è ferma da vent'anni.

Torino, 1987. Vincenzo, per gli amici Vince, aspirante paninaro e aspirante diciassettenne, è innamorato di Caterina, detta Cate, la sua compagna di banco di terza liceo, che invece si innamora di tutti tranne che di lui. Senza rendersene conto, lei lo fa soffrire chiedendogli di continuo consigli amorosi sotto gli occhi perplessi di Spagna, la dark della scuola, capelli neri e lingua pungente. In classe Vince, Cate e Spagna vengono chiamati "Tre cuori in affitto", come il terzetto inseparabile della loro sit-com preferita.

E che invece le fettuccine Alfredo, considerate simbolo di posticcia cucina italoamericana, sono in realtà nate nella Roma dell'Ottocento?

Memórias do subsolo é um pequeno romance publicado em 1864. Considerada uma obra precursora do existencialismo e da psicanálise, traz na primeira parte o monólogo de um homem amargurado e amargo, um homem subterrâneo, sem nome ou relações sociais, um empregado aposentado, em cuja própria existência não vê nenhum sentido, e que se dirige diretamente ao leitor. Tenta envolvê-lo, convencê-lo e comovê-lo com hipóteses sobre si mesmo e sua possível redenção, talvez via a ação, nem que seja fazer o mal — para afinal concluir que o melhor é não fazer nada.
