"I Stole the Rain" tells a trio of unforgettable stories from the superstitious Italian province of Campania, where fizzy drinks are delivered by cart, old women sell gold to a furtive clientele, and the tobacconist's daughter is a prize beyond imagining. In "I am Super Legend," a local team of beer-swilling, smoking, perennial losers is dragged toward the dubiously prestigious championship by the coach's son, who becomes cursed by his nickname, Super Legend. In "Look at Me," a motherless boy tries to help his father's best friend, the mute Cesare, who has fallen in love with their housekeeper Silvia. And in "The Child Comes Home," a young boy disappears, and after losing everything and being forced to take up her grandmother's questionably legal profession, his mother is consoled by her bickering sisters-in-law and her undying wish to hear a knock on her front door... A sublime mixture of humor and pathos, and brimming with colorful characters, Elisa Ruotolo's "I Stole the Rain" is an assured debut from one of Italy's preeminent storytellers. Elisa Ruotolo (Santa Maria a Vico, 1975) has published several short stories and teaches Classics. I Stole the Rain is her first book. Autor: Ruotolo , Elisa
