A tragic event changes Ciro Incoronato's life and he takes solace in crack cocaine and living in a fantasy world of his own creation. He has a life of violence and crime as a minor member of a Camorra crime family and gets his kicks by chasing the cars of young women up and down the Naples ring road, called by the locals La Strada degli Americani (The American Road). We see the world through his eyes and the havoc he causes through the eyes of others; a thirty-year-old factory worker Carmine Scognamiglio, a beautiful young music student Martina Marinelli and ultimately the Naples lawcourts. Giuseppe Miale di Mauro gives us a work of fiction based on true events which is as unforgettable and powerful as Roberto Savinio's Gomorrah. AUTHOR: Giuseppe Miale di Mauro was born in 1975. He grew up in the Naples area and studied theatre at Accademia d'Arte Drammatica in Naples. He is an actor, playwright, theatre director and novelist. He had a leading part in the successful adaptation of Gomorrah for the stage in 2007-2012. He published his first novel L'ultima volta che mi sono emozionato in 2012 which was followed in 2017 by La Strada degli Americani. The film rights to La Strada degli Americani have been sold to an Italian film production company. La Strada degli Americani is Giuseppe Miale di Mauro's first work to be translated into English.
