If This Isn’t Life!A compelling memoir of roots, rebellion, and rebirth.A journey without a safety net, without brakes. Just life. Real life.From the suburbs of Rome in the 1960s and 1980s, to the excesses of punk London; from frozen lands where the sun never sets, to the warm corners of the South, between flamenco and chorizo.If This Isn’t Life! is the memoir of an existence pushed to the limit, lived to the fullest — always on the edge, always running, always rebuilding.Marco Lembo was born in the suburbs of Rome in the 1960s and turned a troubled adolescence into a life without geographical or mental boundaries.In the 1980s he emigrated to London without speaking a word of English, surviving riots, raves, and hunger by reinventing himself as a chef, dishwasher, and fashion designer.Then came the turning point: he became a successful entrepreneur and the inventor of innovative formats in the food industry, patenting the world’s first gluten-free and vegan fresh pasta. He also broke into the entertainment world by opening Italy’s first silent disco, and in Finland he helped reshape the world of labor by contributing in a committee the Ministry of Labor.
