Augusto Orrel

Augusto Orrel. Memorie d'orrore e poesia is a Semi-autobiographical novel^[1] by Menotti Lerro published in 2007.^[2] As Andrew Mangham pointed out in his critical book The Poetry of Menotti Lerro,^[3] through this book it is possible to get many information about Lerro's childhood. In this text, the author describes young Orrel’s experiences of becoming a man. The latter (whose name is “Lerro” spelt backwards) is a character that the author admits to having based on himself. The first edition was published by Joker publishing. Many elements of the novel follow events in Lerro' own life, and also for this reason the book is considered almost an autobiography.
