About the Book

'Plastic' is an autobiography that recreates a part of the author's life, a teenager at that time, in a philosophical and reflective manner. The book is mainly focused on an 'old fashioned' artist's vision on the world and people, on interpersonal relationships and on the spiritual connection between man and art that reproduces the Great Creation (Magnum Opus) at a miniature scale. Based on this concept, the artist is transposed into a demiurge but is continuously battling himself and the world around him. The artist is portrayed with a well defined personality, with a particular behavior pattern that seems to slide more or less to a pathological dimension, thus making the limit between madness and lucidity extremely fragile. This limit in which the artist performs the role of the 'creator' is highlighted through a maxim that places art somewhere between 'reason and emotion'. The permanent oscillation of the main character between fantasy and reality is particularly strengthened by the author's style which is succinct, sharp, condensed and merged with flash-back scenes, hallucinating descriptions and idealistic concepts. Witnessing this spectacle of emotion and thoughts is Nancy, a real life character and friend of the author, with whom the artist established a warm and also a fluctuant relationship. Nancy is both spectator to the artist's madness and self-consciousness, and even her alter ego. The refusal to provide a name for the main character as well as the refusal to rigorously establish the temporal and spatial limits, in which the action takes place, transpose the narrated events 'in illo tempore' as a reminder of the utopias of the humanists.
