Synopsis
Set in a backwater Italian town far from the country's picturesque tourist attractions, Niccolo Ammaniti's novel tells the high-stakes story of Rino Zena, a white-supremacist manual laborer, who, along with his alcoholic and mentally deranged buddies, plans to knock over the local bank. The heist is botched, and soon the characters are caught in a vicious domino effect of violence and catastrophe. Also trapped in the middle is Rino's 13-year-old son Christiano. Though the characters are grotesque and unpleasant they are nevertheless compelling and sympathetic, and the action unfolds at breakneck pace. Winner of Italy's prestigious Premio Strega award, AS GOD COMMANDS is a bleakly riveting tale, a worthy successor to Ammaniti's bestselling I'M NOT SCARED, and equally cinematic in its vision.

Publisher's Note
Despite his hope that the scheme of his alcoholic father, Rino, and his cronies will land a great fortune for the family, and the hand of the beautiful Fabiana for him, Cristiano finds his life changed in a single night, and not in the way he had hoped. By the internationally best-selling author of I'm Not Scared. Original.

Industry Reviews
"Ammaniti, a wonder at creating graphic black comedy, keeps the plot rolling while pushing his characters to their absolute limits....If the Coen brothers ever wanted to go Italian, this'd be prime adaptation material."
(07/20/2009)

"Propulsive from the first page,...[AS GOD COMMANDS] is stunningly, disturbingly entertaining adrenaline fiction....Not at all pretty, but darkly, ferociously beautiful--a triumph for Europe's hottest novelist." (starred review)
(09/01/2009)

"Although the shocks escalate, gore-spattered readers who persevere into the next few chapters will probably be won over by Ammaniti's immense gifts for pacing, psychological clarity and singular detail. His steely, quick-moving prose (translated from the Italian by Jonathan Hunt) suits his unsavory material -- he's in and out like a knife thrust."
