Nemici del popolo
Working Class Enemies
by Emiliano Pagani, Vincenzo Bizzarri
Tunué, 2024
144 pages
17×24 cm
An ambitious graphic novel about contemporary society, ideally closing a trilogy begun with Kraken and Stagione di caccia.
A gun thrown from an overpass, a body left lying in a ditch. The protest of a group of workers who are about to lose their jobs. The arrival of a group of migrants to a homeless shelter. A woman struggling to decide whether or not to keep the baby she’s carrying… what is it that holds these stories together? Desperation, rage, disillusionment or… a gun? As Checov said, once a gun is shown in a story, sooner or later someone will fire it.
