Watching, Reading, My New Web Site

I've been watching TV, God help me. Especially that Italian pit of bleak violence known as Gomorra. There is not a single character to like here, and nor is there supposed to be. Italians have to live with the Mafia every day and they won't risk us viewers falling in love with them the way we fell for the Sopranos.

Watching Gomorra can be a bit

Gomorra, like all of Roberto Saviano's books are made to disturb. They mostly aren't fiction, more like journalism and without allowance for tolerance. Powerful.
I can recommend "ZeroZeroZero" as well about drug.

Cool!

I should have given a shout-out to the translator, but I can't remember her name.

I don't speak Napoletano, other than famous phrases like "ca mo' fa?" "guaglio'" etc. But I understand just enough to think she did a great job :)
