description This article tries to highlight how narrative and an attempt writing-essay cross each other and contaminate La città distratta (1999) by Anthonio Pascale and Qualcosa di scritto (2012) by Emanuele Trevi, sometimes with aesthetically disputable results. To focus on this interaction, the reported study looks closely at the overall structure of the two books, the narrative techniques adopted, the rhetorical choices and the possible role played by the paratextual components. On several occasions the article also uses comparisons with other works of the two considered authors. La città distratta by Pascale can therefore be described as a narrative essay. The plot and the characters' construction are sacrificed to prove a point which consists of going through the anthropology field so as to embrace a reflective posture. Although the book cover discloses the label "novel", in Qualcosa di scritto writing style Emanuele Trevi is driven by a will to meditate, argue and write pages of criticism concerning the last Pasolini's works.
