The Milanese author discusses his widely acclaimed novel Perfection with Matthew Blunderfield.
Perfection is a piercing social satire about digital creatives living in a rapidly gentrifying Berlin in the early 2000s. Latronico interrogates the emptiness of contemporary existence as his millennial protagonists Anna and Tom can’t seem to escape the feeling that their real lives are always out of reach. They search for authenticity at Berlin’s warehouse parties, through sexual experimentation and home cooking – tantalizingly lived out on social media – and yet it all ends up feeling unsatisfying and fictitious.
Latronico will be joined in conversation by Matthew Blunderfield, the presenter of the Architecture Foundation podcast, Scaffold.
