"A noir ethological that exposes all and does not absolve anyone": the plot of "no fault" part by the Center for the study of animal consciousness, where there are strange experiments on chimpanzees. Dr. Sauvage, unscrupulous scientist, wants to see if, under certain conditions even animals can be as cruel as men. But one day Sauvage disappears. Inspector Mark Soul will investigate the case, but the silence that surrounds it is the conspiratorial, including by the animals.
The inspiration of the novel is the same Cimatti telling it in an interview. "Writes Derrida, a philosopher who do not like much, but who wrote a book on the philosophy and the animals are very few people who are watching from an animal such as a cat, not just think you know everything about that animal. Maybe that's why, after thinking about it much (the last chapter of 'no fault' I had in mind for several years), in the end I started to write this story. Because when I see a cat or a goat in a field, I do not care as much as they can think, and just watch them, if they do not bother, and I am amazed at the wonderful mystery of that look. "
participate in the presentation of the book, besides the author, Michele Trotta, Massimo Celani, Margherita Ganeri, Bruna Mancini.
