Albinati's narrator, a student at Rome's prestigious all-boys Catholic high school San Leone Magno, describes life with his teachers and fellow classmates-- the charming Arbus, the literature teacher Cosmos, and his only Fascist friend, Max. These reflections include blend with the legacy of abuse, the Italian bourgeoisie, and the relationship between sex, violence, and masculinity. They combine with an event in 1975, when three well-off young men-- former students at San Leone Magno-- brutally tortured, raped, and murdered two young women. -- adapted from jacket ER -
