Prelude to Bruise is a song from a tightrope, balancing ecstatic existence and the chaos that always threatens to engulf a life on the margins. How do we reckon our past without being ravaged by it? How do we use people, their bodies, to express ourselves? Danger is everywhere in these poems, but never overwhelms them; the poet is always an anchor on the other side. And his story carries us relentlessly along.

Come accade al protagonista, che all'inizio della storia ha vent'anni, più di un talento ma poca perseveranza. Di una cosa però è sicuro, vuole andarsene da Rozzano, percorrere in senso inverso i tre chilometri e mezzo di via dei Missaglia, lasciarsi alle spalle l'insignificanza e la marginalità.

Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.
