PERCULATION: GO FORTH AND PERCULATE CONSCIOUSLY

What if your life story were told by the one creature who witnessed everything - and never believed a word of your excuses?Filippo has spent a lifetime travelling, falling in love, making mistakes, getting back on his feet, working, failing, starting again - and repeatedly finding himself in situations so questionable that even he sometimes struggles to explain them.Fortunately, Birillo can.Birillo is his dog. More precisely, his PMO: Methodical Perculator, but above all Objective.From childhood to adulthood, from family to relationships, from work to sex, travel, friendship, loss and the magnificent absurdity of everyday life, Birillo observes the human species with the merciless clarity only a dog can afford.The result is PERCULATION: part memoir, part satire, part confession - and occasionally an investigation into how Filippo has managed to survive himself.It is funny because much of it is true. It is uncomfortable because some of it may sound familiar.And if, somewhere in these pages, you recognise someone you know...it might be him. It might be you. Or both of you.Go forth and perculate, consciously.
