Macno

“The issue is that he doesn’t resign himself to slowness.” Novel to read up to twenty years old, after it could disappoint. We say this knowingly because we read the book as teenagers, and are picking it up again today. Of all that we had enjoyed as youths, only a faded stain remained on the pages.

Pure Life

“Maybe the most interesting tips are those that cannot be given in words.” “What do you mean?” “In the sense that they are like ascertainment germs of a delayed effect.” Relations between parents and children are the most difficult to build. Misunderstandings, weaknesses, communicative gaps and recriminations undermine stability over the years. Giovanni, the main character of the book, is not an exception to this natural law of the world. The long journey by car...
