SUMMARY: The action takes place on a single night and involves three characters. They are ostensibly engaged in the straightforward and practical task of robbing a museum. Nothing goes right because they are completely at cross-purposes with each other and their true aims are quite different from the ones they acknowledge. A profoundly unusual and exciting novel, which at the time, introduced a new Italian writer to English readers.
