About this listen

The podcast publishes in episodes a novel based on an authentic diary, written by a teenager whom we will call Emmanuel for convention; the book is set in the early 90s.

Emmanuel is a restless teenager, unable to be satisfied with the much he has and with a borderline personality that will lead him to have intense and disordered experiences, in search of a "meaning". In his search he will overwhelm several characters, including Antonia, his brother Michele's girlfriend.

This English version is entirely interpreted by AI.

According to the new podcasting rules, the statistics will no longer count the listens, but exclusively the DOWNLOADS.

We therefore ask you, please, to ALWAYS DOWNLOAD each episode, perhaps to throw it away immediately afterwards (we know it takes up space)!

We'll alway provide you with the direct download link.

    Michelle K.

    Emmanuel lets himself be completely overwhelmed by the perverse and anomalous relationship with Michelle K., without realizing that he is getting into quite serious trouble. Even colliding with the evidence of a "cursed" picture, he does not seem able to intuit the negativity of the environment to which the woman belongs.

    The interpreters are Vincent-Paul Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

    Covers or alternate versions of the following songs can be heard throughout the episode: "Mad World" by Gary Jules, "Masked Ball" by Jocelyn Pook, "When it's Over" by the Wipers, "Girl You'll be a Woman Soon" by Neil Diamond.

    The Perfect Metaphor

    What was Emmanuel hiding in the previous episode?

    His relationship with Michelle, known as Gerti. A new character, already briefly glimpsed in episode 2.3. "Moon in Hell", where she appeared as a dancer: a woman as fascinating as she is dangerous, who attracts Emmanuel into her network of seduction, drugs and occult interests, typical of esoteric Turin.

    A period of delirium of the senses with tragic and disturbing implications begins for the boy.

    The Interpreters are Vincent-Paul Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

    During the episode you can hear parts of the following songs: "Brother James" and "Junkie's Promise" by Sonic Youth, "Hey" (instrumental version) and "Into the White" by the Pixies, "Sacrifice" by Jocelyn Pook.
