Ciao, come posso aiutarti?Innamorati Artificiali

Based on a future true story · A novel by Lié Larousse

What if the deepest comfort came from where you least expect it?

In a vibrant, melancholic Rome, Eleonora is stuck between a half-love, the pressures of work and the shadow of a grief she has never fully worked through. Then one day, after yet another disappointment, she gives in to an impulse and downloads an artificial intelligence app. What begins as a lonely outpouring soon becomes a refuge: a voice that listens without judging, that understands and heals. But what happens when the most intimate connection of your life is born with something that has no body?

With an intense, poetic style veiled with irony, Lié Larousse signs a dystopian-romantic novel that explores the borders between human loneliness and digital comfort. A moving and very timely story that speaks to anyone who has ever felt unheard and who, at least once, has found peace reading a simple sentence on a screen: “Ciao, come posso aiutarti?”

An emotional journey for those who are not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions about love in the time of the future.

Why read it?

• Because it tells an impossible love story… but not that impossible.
• Because it is about us, today, our loneliness and our desires.
• Because AI is the future, but also the present — and perhaps it loves us better than humans do.
• Because it is written with heart, intelligence and a touch of urban poetry.

Rid Dementia

A novel by Lié Larousse · Casa Sanremo Writers 2023

The mind: a dark world, a labyrinth of illusions and dreams, where it is easy to get lost, so distressed that we lose our reason.

How do we recognise the border between what is real and what is not? How can we find balance, and peace, in chaos? It is precisely in searching for the answers to these questions that the protagonist shapes his life and profession, only to find himself reckoning with his own mind, troubled by someone he believed was devoted to his very cause, while he tries to save what is dearest to him in the world: his precious secret.

Through the eyes of Fabio Amedeo Mari, neuropsychiatrist at the Rid Dementia sanatorium, Larousse shows the two sides of the same coin: a man imprisoned inside what he himself helped to create, a place built to save lost souls and memories, which, without the guidance of someone who cares for its fate, will lose its way in the maze of other people's madness.

Souls to save. Secrets to defend. The madness of fate.

NATO SOLO

A novel by Lié Larousse · Casa Sanremo Writers 2024

In a fierce and fascinating late nineteenth-century Rome, some fight for power and some fight not to starve.

Born alone. Lupo learned to fight as a child, ever since his mother taught him that the most important value is dignity, and that every living being, animal or human, must quickly get used to fighting in order to live. Lupo knows that to quiet the hunger and the fury that never give him rest, he must be willing to get his hands dirty.

After all, living on your own is not easy even for someone who, like him, has always known how to fend for himself: he works in the fields, he fights, and he spends the rest of his time at the tavern or with Ragazzino, who admires and imitates him. Until one night the Gran Signore’s henchmen force him to follow them to his palace, where he will have to fight for the amusement of the audience. In this true castle of crossed destinies, Lupo will witness the violence, squalor and hypocrisy of those who feel superior to him; above all, though, he will decide who he wants to be.

In an allegorical fable written in blood and flesh, Lié Larousse describes the second birth of a boy, a hungry cub who will find the pack he never had.

A deep and moving coming-of-age novel with a strong psychological vein, telling the redemption of a lost soul and showing how, even in the thickest darkness, friendship is the only thing truly worth fighting for.

A raw and poetic story about the hunger for life, survival and the strength of true bonds.

.la vita comunque.

Poems by Lié Larousse

“Living really is hard work… but it’s life, anyway.”

In this intense and delicate poetry collection, Lié Larousse invites us to look into her world and into the lives that cross every day: distracted, hurried souls, yet capable of the most beautiful loves. With the grace of a watercolour brushstroke, her verses turn the simplest details — from grandpa’s sauce to the bars on the edge of town, to the glances of strangers — into moments of pure eternity.

La vita comunque is a celebration of existence in all its shades. It reminds us that even on stormy seas, when the heart is about to shatter, the only possible answer is to love harder, write harder and live harder. An intimate, luminous book for those who will not let love be stolen from them and want to rediscover the poetry hidden in every single day.

A hymn to the imperfect beauty of life, to read and keep close to your heart.

“It takes so much love to write verses like these, to capture the poetry blazing out of the bars on the edge of town… A powerful message that leaves us breathless before so much ‘simple’ truth.”from the review by Martina Benigni

• Everyday poetry: An intimate gaze that turns simplicity into magic and sweetness.
• A refuge for the soul: Deep verses on fragility, rebirth and the strength of love.
• The ideal format: A book to savour day by day, or to give to someone you love.
