Marcello Rubini, a frustrated 'serious' writer, does tabloid journalism to make ends meet. He spends every evening in Via Veneto awaiting the next scandal, party invitation, or sexual proposition. From an enigmatic woman named Maddalena, to wealthy intellectual Steiner's penthouse, to a famous actress named Sylvia, Marcello finds himself caught up in the carnival spectacle of nightlife and its fleeting happiness. The empty evenings seem to weave together, a decadent rhythm punctuated only by the regret of the following morning. Marcello is consumed by self-doubt and unable to enjoy the success he has, and so stumbles on, dreaming of attaining the elusive sweet life

An introspective novel, told in the first person, which explores the territory of delusion when an Italian Lieutenant sets out to have an aching tooth cared for on his four days leave. A short cut through the African wilderness leads him to a native girl in whom he finds all the secrets of her country, and when he accidentally shoots her, and later kills her to speed her dying, it is not only a spiritual haunting but a physical that besets him. He begins to believe that he has contracted leprosy from her so that he not only has to flee the moral guilt but the possible stigma of his uncleanness. AWOL, evading chances of being found out, frustratedly wandering, never completing associations with any of the military he meets, depending on whores, natives for safety, he returns to the scene of his crime, confronted by the girl's father and is at last saved by him. A crime and punishment theme set against hostile shadows where the visible and invisible signs of evil take on a Dali-esque atmosphere

"Flâneur inverted, paradoxical and light enlightenment, Flaiano walks through Rome and quietly watches her deteriorate. Common places, academics, ambitions, fashions and habits of a culture that, at the end of the sixties, we talk and sparla on are the object and the target of this book posthumous, extraordinary in its hilarious, fulminating icasticity. Miscellanea of stories, anecdotes, memories, scratchy definitions and poignant or disillusioned passions, La solitudine del satiro is crossed by an intellectual feeling that few of our writers have possessed: the intelligence put at the service of disenchantment, a lucid that is cynical and melancholy, but it can not veil love for literature and that, veil to veil the love for literature and the one, hindered, for life, which may even be in war with the literature." --Rough translation from back cover
