GLITTER BLUES
GLITTER BLUES
"My need to give and receive selfless warmth has been satisfied
and made by their company and their confidence mixed with inconstancy, and I hope
that this book can give something in return, a testimony full of life
real." Lorenzo Castore takes us into the world of Franchina, Cioccolatina,
Lulù, Ramona, Brigida, Ornella, Monica the Viking, Fiorella, Rosa, Ambra and
Graziella, Sicilian transvestites who live/work in the San
Berillo of Catania, which has always been a red light district. The context is a
land where the Catholic tradition lives in close contact with the criminal, and where
religion, devotion, sin, sexuality and violence are intertwined
by a magical force that sums them all up. This story is not only
poetic. It is also a story of suffering for a rejected identity.
It is also often a story of misery. There is a need to sell oneself as
the only possibility of existing. There is the impossibility, or the inability, of
create stable relationships around oneself and a normal life in the most
simple of the term. There is a feeling of guilt that struggles with the desire to
redemption.
