Clash Of Civilizations Over An Elevator In Piazza Vittorio by Amara Lakhous

In a run-down, multicultural apartment block in central Rome, the discovery of a burned body in the elevator sets off a chain of testimonies and gossip among tenants; through a chorus of comic, ironic, and poignant voices the novel dismantles stereotypes, exposes fears and misunderstandings, and offers a lively, humane portrait of immigration, identity, and everyday coexistence in a modern city.
