Filth & Romance

Influenced by the raw and graphic writing of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Henry Miller, Roberto Roja’s debut novel chronicles the experiences of a young writer, Robert Ashby, who is living in Florence, Italy, and who finds himself entangled in a world of love, madness, and infidelity. Like many young adults of his generation, Ashby is struggling to understand the human condition, and his reflections on love, sex, art, religion, education, and the spiritual realm are insightful, thought-provoking, and engaging on many levels.
