Inspired by European cult novels, quiet big city mornings, old administrative buildings, and the strange rules of daily life, Valenti creates worlds that seem both absurd and astonishingly familiar.\u003cbr\u003eKOKUMINAUKA is his first novel.\u003cbr\u003eThe author lives reclusively between piles of paper, notebooks, and atmospheric difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Message from the Publisher:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery page an adventure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith KOKUMINAUKA, our publishing house is releasing a novel that captivated us from the very first sentence.\u003cbr\u003eLuca Valenti achieves something rare: He creates a completely unique literary world — full of dry humor, poetic depth, and surreal everyday observations.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is not loud.\u003cbr\u003eIt doesn't explain itself.\u003cbr\u003eAnd precisely because of that, it creates a very special pull.\u003cbr\u003eBetween offices, Thursdays, coffee, and atmospheric shifts, a novel emerges that resonates long after and draws the reader deeper into its peculiar reality with every page.\u003cbr\u003eWe are very pleased to have Luca Valenti as an author for our publishing house and to be able to publish KOKUMINAUKA in early 2027.\u003cbr\u003eBecause some books you don't just read.\u003cbr\u003eYou get drawn into them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jede Seite ein Abenteuer.
