Un racconto breve ma in cui succede tanto, si dice tanto, e soprattutto, significa tanto. Persone legate tra di loro, che affrontano una malattia terribile, alcune da lontano, alcune col pensiero che possa succedere loro, una sola a cui è successo.
Solo una penna esperta avrebbe potuto rendere questo insieme di voci come una narrazione fluida, come un fiume, invece di un guazzabuglio disordinato.
Intenso, duro, ma insieme pieno di amore e di vita vera.

*******************************************************************************
A group of friends, lots of names and voices that intertwine and cross over, telling the story of their friend, the only unnamed, to whom AIDS was diagnosed. The disease is never named, as the unnamed is the protagonist.
A short story, but where it happens so much, is said so much, and above all, it means so much. People tied to each other, who face a terrible disease, some from a far, some with the thought that can happen to them, only one that has happened to them.
Only an expert pen could have made this set of voices as a fluid narrative, like a river, instead of a messy bump.
Intense, hard, but full of love and true life.
Susan Sontag
