They say war never stops. We are always in a state of war. is it so Aunt America's book tells about war, about living under the shadow of war? It is not clear whether the war is fair or not. In this book, Leonardo Shasha accurately says: "Justice is always manifested in the process of displacing vengeful thoughts." Maybe that is why the author's wonderful humor carries the bitterness of truth. He reviews four historical periods in the four stories of this book.
"Auntie America" takes place during World War II. The shoemaker "Death of Stalin" constantly dreams of his uncle and hopes for his help with his problems. "Forty-Eight" takes the reader to the story of Italian independence, and finally, tells the story of sulfur miners who perish by breathing the deadly poisonous gas "antimony". The characters of the stories are all affected by the war conditions. Shasha, who is present in the political scene, writes about the special experience of the Italian people. He sets the story collection of Aunt America like a satellite in the orbit of war to capture love and betrayal, alliances and failures, and all the details of the lives of ordinary people, images that are torn apart under the shadow of war.
