Lolito
Etgar ha quindici anni e gli piacciono il tè col Nesquik e i film in cui non muore nessuno. Passa il tempo sotto il piumone con la sua ragazza Alice a navigare su Wikipedia e a guardare video virali su You Tube. Durante una festa scopre che Alice l'ha tradito con un tipo più muscoloso e più peloso di lui. Irrimediabilmente ferito, va in cerca di consolazione sul web. E presto si ritrova fra le bracca (virtuali) di Macy, quaranetnne annoiata che frequenta le chat per adulti. Etgar tenta di fingersi più grande di quel che è, ma le cose tra i due approdano velocemente nel mondo reale. Mentre gli amici credono che sia rintanato nella sua cameretta a ubriacarsi di sidro e guardare documentari sugli animali marini, lui parte per Londra, dove ha prenotato una stanza d'albergo per passare la notte con Macy... Ben Brooks ribalta lo schema letterario nabokoviano per raccontare una generazione - la sua - che vive in bilico tra dolore e desiderio di rivalsa, armata soltanto di social network e autoironia. Divertente, coraggioso e dissacrante, Lolito è un'autentica storia d'amore del Ventunesimo secolo.
