[DeepL Translation - needs review] The famous novel of decadence
In his novel, which was banned several times, the Italian scandal author of the 1920s tells the story of a young journalist who, in search of reports for his sensationalist readers, falls deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of decadent adventures. Pitigrilli describes in an eerily haunting way how cocaine turns dazzling personalities into "shrill, embalmed birds".
