"Enrico Remmert at his best: in a book that is at the same time the cross-section of an unrepeatable season and the last beating of the beating heart of a night that lasted twenty years." - Giuseppe Culicchia
"The most striking thing is the level of writing [...] Remmert manages to create a very high narrative tension with writing, not many writers are able to do it." - Alessandro Perissinotto

" The war of the Murazzi is a collection of exemplary tales." - Enrico Brizzi
" The Murazzi War reaffirms Remmert's urgency: to testify to a certain idea of literature, shaped by the fire of life, immersing himself in human tragedy-comedy, disdaining the embellishments, the papier-mâché backdrops, the fearful retreats in the closets of aseptic writing . " - Bruno Quaranta
"Remmert happily returns with a road-trip of desires, served by a choral and harmonious writing like a melody." - Carlotta Vissani, D - The Republic of Women
" Petit art de la fuite dose à la perfection l'action et la reflexion, les émotions et les discussions, l'évolution psychologique des personnages et les images d'un paysage hivernal qui parfois devient presque surréel." - Le Monde
