Flat
Un uomo, J., viene trovato morto nella sua casa, circondato da appunti, libri e una grande abbondanza di effetti personali. Ma non una lettera né una qualsiasi spiegazione del suo gesto. Un lontano conoscente viene incaricato di fare pulizia, liberare la casa e cercare una ragione plausibile per questo ermetico suicidio. "Flat" usa la metafora del luogo abitato per parlare della vita di chi lo abita, esplora la possibilità di creare una zona metafisica in cui corpi umani e mura si permeano e scambiano anime in movimento; nel suo singolare intreccio si legano le voci di più narratori, fermi e prigionieri di più appartamenti, ognuno con il suo piccolo pezzo di puzzle. Nel puzzle, è nascosta l'identità della vittima, il mistero di una morte violenta.

About the author
Mark MacDonald
30 books1 followerMark Macdonald is the author of BODY CONFIDENCE and founder and CEO of Venice Nutrition.
He opened the first Venice Nutrition Consulting Center in Venice Beach, California, in 1999. Since then, the company has grown to include more than 350 centers, 4,000 nutrition coaches, and 250,000 clients nationwide. In 2006, eager to bring his successful program to a wider audience, Mark launched Venice Nutrition Online, a fully interactive online version of the program that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Marks big lesson in nutrition came when he finished college and stopped playing soccer. Despite the lack of activity, Mark continued to eat the food he was used to: fast food, pizza, and ice cream. He realized that without constant exercise, his body became a fat storing machine and before he knew it, he had gained 60 pounds of body fat in a 6 month period.
He began researching and experimenting with every diet in the industry. He thought he found the answer in the ketogenic diet, a high fat, high protein, and no carbohydrate plan. Following this plan, he went from 250 lbs. and 24% body fat to 180 lbs. and, 4% body fat in a four month period, and began his fitness modeling career. Over a four year period Mark read every fitness magazine, every nutrition book, and tried nearly every natural supplement on the market. He recalls, I kept searching for answers because while I looked great, I felt horrible. I lived for my cheat days and was grumpy six days a week and happy the one day each week that I ate carbohydrates. It was not the life I wanted, and I worked hard to find a better way.
The Venice Nutrition Program is the product of Mark Macdonalds lifelong interest in health and fitness. The program focuses on empowering every individual to achieve the full potential of their physical health and fitness. As a college athlete, and later as a professional fitness model, nutritionist, and personal trainer, Mark grew frustrated by incomplete health solutions and restrictive diets. He set out to learn how the human body works and discovered the power of blood sugar stabilization. After years of study, and extensive work with clients from all walks of life and all health and fitness levels, he designed the powerful three-step system thats now available in BODY CONFIDENCE.
Mark is a frequent guest speaker at corporate events and universities and is represented by ISB for major lectures. He is frequently featured as a nutrition and fitness expert on Star 94 in Atlanta as well as Fit TV. Television personality Chelsea Handler is not only a clientshe also wrote the introduction to BODY CONFIDENCE.

This is the Italian edition of the novel, it is not by the diet author featured on this page. I reproduce my original review from 2015 below:
The three stars may be unfair - I liked the book - I want to read more by this author (though beware most of the books listed under 'Mark MacDonald' on Goodreads are not by this author!) but although undecided I know I read this book twice and it has stayed with me. It just didn't completely grab me - but as I write this I think maybe there was a part of this book that frightened me - a certain despair or nihilism that I didn't want to face. Definitely a book to read again.
