  • Lol, the book is referenced in an Italian indie movie, “Santa Maradona”: the costumer of a bookstore asks to a character (who is NOT part of the bookstore staff) where she can find a book with a mix’n’match title between this one and Stefano Benni’s “The Company of the Celestines”. He gently answer that she may have confounded the two books: Benni’s book is slip-mainstream “and we don’t sell mainstream-ish books which appeal the masses”, while this one “is a nutty new age book full of poppycockeries and we don’t sell this kind of trash”. Then, with passive-aggressive kindness, he invites the costumer to go away. (She is then approacjed by an actual bookstore staff memeber and insults him).
