Abstract
This chapter focuses on the concept of homecoming, which is the theme of Pier Vittorio Tondelli's “Leo's World.” Camere separate (Separate Rooms), from which “Leo's World” is excerpted, is considered Tondelli's most mature work, and was published only two years before his premature death of AIDS in 1991. Leo, the autobiographical main character of Camere separate, as well as Tondelli's other protagonists are gripped by wanderlust and move with ease across Europe, following the migratory currents of the new “urban race.” As such, Tondelli may be considered the best example of a “postnational” type of author. Although, he was interested in youth culture, Camere separate is written from the vantage point of an author who knows it is “no longer suitable to define himself as young.”
