'I'm going back to what I was twenty years ago. I'm riding across a
terrain of buried curiosity, the adrenaline is starting to flow
again, and the old obsessions are coming back: I want to start
doing cocaine every day, I want to run after every female who
passes, I want to smell the smells of Italy again, I want my old
life back. It's a bit late for all that, I know, but who gives a
fuck? I want to die stark naked, drowned in a well of Ballantine's,
surrounded by whores. All this I want, suddenly, I want it very
much indeed. But I hide it well.' This is the story of Tony Pagoda,
a hero of our time, a man of incredible energies and appetites with
a dark secret in his past and a unique perspective on the world.
1980s Italy is Tony's oyster. A charismatic singer, he is talented
and successful, up to his neck in money, drugs and women, enjoying
an extravagant lifestyle in Naples and Capri. But when life gets
complicated, Tony decides it's time for a change. While on tour, he
disappears to Brazil and an existence free from excess, where all
he has to worry about are the herculean cockroaches. But after
eighteen years of humid Amazonian exile, somebody is willing to
sign a giant cheque to bring Tony back to Italy. How will he face
the temptations of his old habits and the new century? A huge
bestseller in Italy, Everybody's Right is an extraordinary debut
novel from the award-winning film director Paolo Sorrentino. It is
a book about Italy and a book about the modern world; a book about
Tony and a book about all of us. Through Tony's irresistible voice
Sorrentino illustrates his imaginative power and his incredible
gifts for drama and satire.
