I wanted to write a few words about a couple of books I've read lately about Rene nice, as you know returned ; current in our cinemas.
This Vallanzasca, the last flight written in collaboration with (precious) and Leonardo Coen Vallanzasca, novel unauthorized public enemy number one Vito Bruschini . Specific
as the first book is a kind of little autobiography of the former bandit, concerning the crucial moments of his life, relationships with women, his "morality" of the criminal, the years (40) and the slow reintegration of prisoners into society started a few months ago to work in a cooperative.
The second is only a novel, not very apt. Of course, in the opinion of the undersigned.
E 'particularly interesting to see how these two volumes are linked together. Indeed, the novel is, in several pieces, a mere review of what is written in Vallanzasca, the last flight. Even a few steps, a few sentences of the protagonist, is set faithfully in the novel. Scopiazzatura a nice job of that made me come back to mind Crime Novel De Cataldo: there too a copy and paste from the news real, with the difficult problem of having to change the names of real players so that they could bring in fiction, often with all their tics. Obviously the real news is far more interesting than fictional. If you happen to read Boys underworld, deeds and misdeeds of the Banda della Magliana John Bianconi and then Crime Novel De Cataldo. And you know how 'is easy to make the "writers" at times.
Bruschini, had not even so much effort to invent the names of characters taken from reality. They find themselves next to Renatino , various Turatello Berlusconi (inevitable), Cutolo, Liggio, plus a few more excellent name of Milan during the period. The result is a soup a little grotesque, even where the police call Vallanzasca with the affectionate diminutive of Renatino.
The Sardinians, then, are badly dashed. With the excuse to talk Vallanzasca, the author indulges in a series of names ( Pecorari, beasts, animals) really offensive. Obviously Renatino expressed in these terms because he had a different style in dealing with kidnappings and disapproved those kept by Sardinian and Calabrian. In the book you cite
firms "gentlemen" of all the regions of Italy but the only peck at the racist abuse of phony Vallanzasca are, needless to say, the Sardinians ...
As you can see the book I did not like. He promised to revive the atmosphere of the 70's but it is better to watch a movie or read some objective account of the period.
Vallanzasca, the last flight but it seemed a much better job. The former boss of Comasina is an accomplished storyteller, quite smart funny besides. Which is good. Only that tends to gloss over some painful episodes that are the reasons why for which it was done 40 years in prison. No statement or nearly killed the policemen, for example. Many of its joints, or the timing of romantic ligero, on his women, or how Milan has changed.
There is a guide, "Michelin" on the nation's prisons, complete with a vote from one to five stars, but not expressed in handcuffs ...
short, between the two, I recommend the one written by the original and not the novel. Or read them both and then let me know.
