The Silver Book

He sweeps Nicholas to Rome, into the looking-glass world of Cinecitta, the studio where Casanova''s Venice will be ingeniously assembled. Then in the spring, the lovers move together to the set of Salò, Pasolini''s horrifying fable of fascism. But Nicholas has a secret and in this world of constant illusion, his real nature passes unseen. Amidst the rising political tensions of Italy''s ''Years of Lead'', he acts as an accelerant, setting in motion a tragedy he didn''t intend.
