    Franco Malanima’s writing is approachable and warm. I couldn’t put it down.

    ―Gary Lovely, THE HARPOON REVIEW

     

    An entanglement of relationships across two countries.

    ―Andrew Singer, TRAFIKA EUROPE

     

    A Perfect Idiot follows a man who works at a foster home, caring for children the world has forgotten. Among them is Odette, a quiet girl with her black cat, whose presence changes him in ways he never expected. As he grows closer to Meli, a social worker navigating the same fragile terrain, the two must confront uncomfortable truths — about honesty, about protection, and about what it really means to show up for someone.

    A novel that invites us to look beyond appearances: through the eyes of a grotesque yet deeply human antihero, it reveals the beauty and fragility of marginalized lives, echoing the empathy of Fredrik Backman and the lyrical humanity of Kent Haruf, with an existential irony that makes it a singular work in the contemporary literary landscape.
