A Sweet Double Murder Out of the blue, a retired professor commits
a double murder in his apartment, killing two men. In a monologue,
at the police station, he explains why he did it, reflecting on
wars, holocausts, religion, power, money, lust, love, and on the
intellectual limitations of the human race When Death Does Not Part
After ten years at a psychiatric institute, Thomas, a
fifty-year-old teacher, returns to Florence in search of the truth.
Retracing the steps he took with his young lover Irena, he learns
who she really was. As similarities to Verdi's opera Rigoletto
haunt the pages, Thomas confesses what happened between them in a
desperate attempt to purify his soul, find peace of mind, and love.
Unable to accept the truth and its horrifying implications Thomas
is doomed to relive his past. On My Father's Bike "I wanted to
become the first creator of perfect and painless love. It was my
father's fault. Indirectly he forced me, because I loved him too
much. Indeed, my father. Can you believe it? I wanted to optimize
love by transforming into what you love. Imagine the advantages
Wouldn't it be delightful to adopt the patience of the snake, the
speed of the panther, the devilish persistence of the scorpion, or
the beauty of the orchid? And imagine absorbing the beauty of a
lover? Nut's beauty? For he surely was beautiful. You'd reach
ultimate perfection. Ultimate love But how do you do it? How do you
turn yourself into what you love? Being a scientist, and brilliant,
I had hit upon a scientific method that would allow me to achieve
such a transformation. Call it reverse metabolism. " These are the
words of Andre Junior, a professor who is certain that his mission
in life is to prove that reverse metabolism is possible. So
certain, in fact, he is willing to kill for it, even eat for it.
