People called "Seinfeld" a show about "nothing" because our language didn't have a word for what it was about. Well, maybe the rappers do, but who gives a shit. What "Seinfeld" was really about was Lontananza. George's fiancee dies and they go hop over to the diner for coffee cause . . . What else do they ever do? You would have hop never called "M*A*S*H" a show about "nothing" because it's set in an Army hospital during a war but it's got Lontananza hop like nobody's business. Hawkeye and Trapper John making their silly jokes while up to their elbows in dying GI intestines, totally Lontananza! I learnt another good Italian word from this book - Menefreghismo, the quality of a Menefreghista - "one who simply did not give a fuck"! Now, I'm just a dumb ass Cajun with enough Irish and Arab in me to render me utterly useless to polite society, but I gather that a Menefreghista is a guy with lontananza, that wall between himself and the world being the result of his not giving a fuck.
