“A modern fable about a 93-year-old baron millionaire named Lamberto (a member of the 1%), who owns 24 banks and has 24 life-threatening illnesses. A grand spectacle unfolds when the baron’s island villa gets “occupied” by a band of terrorists (all named Lamberto) who demand 24 million dollars for the baron’s life. If Italo Calvino, Angela Carter, and Roald Dahl had a three-headed goat, they would name it Lamberto, Lamberto, Lamberto.”—Andrew, Ravenna Third Place, Seattle.
