Bitossi’s first work is set over the course of a week and has Riccardo as its protagonist, who “lives for next Thursday”. It is the day in which Dr. Fontaneto, in charge of psychologically evaluating his daughter Nora, will have to establish whether what his ex-wife claims is true: the chilling hypothesis is that he has to some extent abused the little girl.

Bitossi writes, announcing his novel on social media: “It’s about a man who seems to have lost all logical reference. One who, in order to find himself, tries to untie the emotional knots of an entire life in the hope that the moment will come when it will be possible, finally, breathe again.”
