Niccolo Ammaniti is the author of I'm Not Scared.
`Ammaniti…writes with a freshness and vitality, not to mention a gross humour, that reflects modern pulp fiction and pulp cinema at its finest. And I mean that as a compliment…The Crossroads is no exception. The portrait it paints of Italian life is so bleak, and sometimes so crudely hilarious, that it should invite the fall of yet another Italian government…Ammaniti is the real deal. His novel proceeds at breakneck pace.’ * Australian * `The interweaving of the action with the various colliding stories is absolutely masterful. Ammaniti continues to cement his reputation as Italy’s best young writer. Written with pace and a precision that is crafted with care and intelligence, The Crossroads is a rare novel that brings the human condition bluntly to the fore…Both confrontational, and a delicious pleasure to read.’ * Weekend Press * 'Ammaniti has cranked up the volume for his blistering new novel…The Crossroads is a rollickingly dark horror-comic, a gruelling piece of fun…Ammaniti is a fearsomely gifted writer.’ * Independent * `Ammaniti writes about an Italy you don’t read about in the travel books…Ammaniti excels here—as he did in I’m Not Scared—in capturing the thought processes and fears and desires of children. His style is gritty and, once you start reading him, you can’t put him down.’ * Sunday Telegraph *
