“Volendo, noi eravamo gli sbandati, qualcosa di estremamente marginale nelle complesse dinamiche di una citt famigerata perch immediatamente e universalmente identificata con determinate caratteristiche, temuta ma non rispettata, rifiutata perch diversa e occulta. E non facile a parole descrivere quella deriva, quella ricerca del non so che, quellagitarsi inquieti nel ventre di quella che ci sembrava una carcassa e invece era una bestia ben viva, ma prossima allabbattimento.” (Rodan Di Maria, dalla postfazione del libro)

“We were, you could say, the lowlifes: completely marginal in the complex dynamics of a city that was infamous for being immediately and universally identifiable with certain characteristics, a city feared but not respected, rejected for being different and occult. Its not easy to describe that drift, that search for who knows what, that restless agitation in the belly of what we took for a carcass but was instead a beast, very much alive albeit close to slaughter.” (from Rodan Di Maria’s afterwords
