The narrator in Veronica Raimo’s novel None of This Is True sounds a bit like one of those American stand-up comedians, but she’s quintessentially Italian. She constantly puts herself in a bad light, she never wants to cut a good figure, she always wants to look as bad as possible. This is unusual in a culture that demands maximum beauty and complacency from girls and women.
