A multi-award-winning Italian debut, from a bold and original new
voice in contemporary queer literature. Jonathan is 31 years old,
living in Milan with his boyfriend of three years and their two
Devon Rex cats when, on a day like any other, he gets a fever. But
unlike most, this fever doesn't go away; it's constant, low-level,
and exhausting. After spending weeks Googling his symptoms and
documenting his illness, he finally sees a doctor. A series of
blood tests, anxious visits to hospitals, and repeated misdiagnoses
ensue, until the truth is finally revealed: Jonathan is
HIV-positive. As Jonathan comes to terms with what this diagnosis
will mean for him, his future, and his relationships, he also takes
the reader back in time, in search of his history, to the suburbs
where he grew up, and from which he feels he has escaped: Rozzano,
the ghetto of Milan, and of Italy's north. In the vein of Edouard
Louis and Virginie Despentes, Fever is at once a deeply personal
story and a searing examination of class, poverty, prejudice, and
opportunity in modern Europe.
