About This Book

Una lunga parodia in versi che riprende lo stile e le figure dell'epopea per mettere in scena un trionfo celeste invertito: dopo la vittoria di una figura ribelle il cosmo vive un millennio di pace e abbondanza, mentre intorno si affacciano dubbi, inganni e macchinazioni di demoni; la voce poetica alterna celebrazione solenne, apostrofi ai critici e riflessioni metaletterarie sull'arte epica, oscillando fra imitazione raffinata e canzonatura, e lascia intendere una critica ironica dell'originale e della ricezione pubblica.
