About the book
Penny is an angry young woman raging against the hypocrisy of post-war Italian society. Escape artist and survivor, Penny's adolescent energy becomes a magical form of resistance, capable of birthing new social and aesthetic realities that burst into life in dissociative states and febrile dreams. With her sister, Baby, they rebel against the destructive forces of heteronormativity, Catholicism, sexism and neofascist Coca-Cola capitalism. Lorenza Mazzetti's Kafka-inspired coming of age tale, is an autofiction forged from the wreckage of unimaginable childhood trauma. Irreverent and absurd, Rage's refusal to accept the world as it is an urgent reminder - for our own fascist end times - that new realities will soon be invented through courageous, defiant and imaginative acts.
