Torno a casa
Someone has got lost and describes what is happening in a place he does not know. Trying to find his way back, he discovers amazing places and encounters a group of unusual characters who often seem connected to people he has known or to experiences that have marked his life. Consequently this journey, punctuated by precise recollections of the illness he has suffered, is both a return and a discovery; if it seems increasingly like a voyage of discovery, that is because the story suggests a stripping away of essential things. Narrated via short and startling scenes, honed with a poetic and concise style, Torno a casa ("I'm Coming Home") invites us on a fascinating journey that takes us to the heart of a mystery. "I had never read anything like the story packed into the pages of this short book", Joan Josep Isern (Vilaweb)
