Dall'Apocalissi festosa de L'ultimo capodanno dell'umanità alle peripezie del picciotto Albertino protagonista di Fango , i racconti di Niccolò Ammaniti mettono in scena i nuovi eroi di un'umanità borderline e metropolitana, capace di passare con leggerezza da una modesta aspirazione a un efferato delitto.

Perché l'avvenire appartiene ai non disillusi.

Perché tante stragi e delitti in Italia rimangono impuniti? La ricerca della verità è un percorso a ostacoli e in troppi casi, prima ancora di cercare i colpevoli, si è messa in dubbio la credibilità di chi accusava. È accaduto a Giovanni Falcone quando si disse che la bomba dell'Addaura l'aveva piazzata lui stesso e a Paolo Borsellino la cui agenda rossa, misteriosamente scomparsa, sarebbe stata un «parasole». Don Diana? «Era un camorrista.» Peppino Impastato? «Un terrorista.» La lista dei nomi infangati per distrarre l'attenzione dai delitti è lunga.
