The Silver Book

In Olivia Laing's hypnotic novel, "The Silver Book," set in the lead-up to Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1975 murder, a young English artist named Nicholas flees London and finds himself entangled with Danilo Donati, a luminary of Italian cinema. As they venture from Venice to Rome, Nicholas becomes immersed in the surreal world of Cinecittà while harboring secrets that could alter their fateful trajectory. Blending themes of art, desire, and illusion, this queer love story serves as a noirish thriller that explores the complex interplay between truth and deception against the backdrop of Italy's tumultuous years. Narrated by Ben Cura, the audiobook promises a captivating listening experience.
