Ferdinando Camon Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Story which centers on the plight of a young couple who were unable to have children for a period of 6 years. When the wife finally conceives their obsession with having the "perfect" baby results in creating a hopeless situation for the couple.

Ostensibly a satirical look at psychoanalysis and its practitioners, this novel is also a serious social critique of modern man. Camon's narrator consults a series of therapists, searching for the source of his mysterious maladies. Camon draws parallels between his narrator's experiences and the experiences of Man in a morally disintegrating Italy. From his depcitions of pompous therapists to his analysis of the intersection of church and state, Camon's wit and wisdom shine.
