In this second edition, presented as a second series to the short story Found Alone (originally Trovato Solo), the eponymous fictional character materializes into the figure of Father Giuseppe, who becomes the main protagonist. Found Alone appears instead as a secondary character, featured only when the narrative context requires it.
What the author seeks to narrate metaphorically is the result of a series of complex events that generated a utopia. These situations are inspired by perceptions of the outside world but do not refer to specific individuals or real events; rather, they are solely the fruit of the imagination. For this reason, the stories should not be taken literally, as some were written without direct knowledge of the facts. At times, the author adopts a marginal style reminiscent of the Bolivian writer VÃctor Hugo Viscarra; at others, the narrative draws on eroticism with an intensity equal to, or perhaps more provocative than, that of Charles Bukowski or the Cuban writer Pedro Juan Gutiérrez.
Some chapters are divided into brief sections which form the following short stories:
- THIS IS HOW I LIVE MY INTERNET ADDICTION
- JUST TO REMEMBER THAT...
- THE HIDDEN DESIRE
- WHICH WAS AFFECTION
- THE FICTITIOUS CHARACTER
- THE MATERIALIZATION OF FATHER GIUSEPPE
- THE SCANDINAVIAN
- FOUND ALONE
- DAD KNEW NOTHING
The current edition has been revised, translated, and published in English for the first and final time under the title The Materialization of Father Giuseppe. This work replaces the first edition titled Trovato Solo in Giuseppe Sirugo. The text has been slightly modified and expanded with an additional short paragraph, with the intent of replacing the fictional character of Found Alone with the figure of Father Giuseppe.
