Giovani Cannibali is a name that labels some Italian writers active in the mid-NIneties. The portrait these writers offer of the Italian community is a desperate and alienated one. They offer, nevertheless, stories both about and to Italians from within their society in a mimetical reproduction of their tics and social dilemmas vis-a-vis consumerism. Gioventú cannibale: La prima antologia dell'orrore estremo, published by Einaudi in 1996, showcases some of the most important names of contemporary Italian narrative, from NIcolò Ammaniti to Aldo Nove.

Abstract
Giovani Cannibali is a name that labels some Italian writers active in the mid-NIneties. The portrait these writers offer of the Italian community is a desperate and alienated one. They offer, nevertheless, stories both about and to Italians from within their society in a mimetical reproduction of their tics and social dilemmas vis-a-vis consumerism. Gioventú cannibale: La prima antologia dell'orrore estremo, published by Einaudi in 1996, showcases some of the most important names of contemporary Italian narrative, from NIcolò Ammaniti to Aldo Nove.
