Sono cinque racconti con un filo conduttore, la musica. I protagonisti sono quasi tutti musicisti, e nell'unica storia dove lo é un insegnante di inglese, la musica la fa comunque da padrone. Sono cinque storie in cui l'autore mostra tutto il suo acume nello studiare la psicologia dei personaggi, le loro incertezze, le loro delicatezze.
Li ho trovati splendidi, una scrittura quasi musicale, direi.
Ishiguro sta velocemente scalando la classifica dei miei preferiti. E già un altro é pronto nel comodino.

As you already know because this is not the first time I say it, Kazuo Ishiguro has been an amazing discovery for me. Far from the sadness of Never let me go, he is an ironic author, pleasant to read, interesting, original. This collection of short stories gave me the certainty of getting wrong the first time.
These are five short stories with a guideline, music. The main characters are almost all musicians, and in the story where it's not, music is still the main subject. They are five stories in which the author shows all his acumen in developing the psychology of the characters, their uncertainties, their delicacies.
For me their are splendid, an almost musical writing, I would say. Ishiguro is quickly climbing the list of my favourite ones. And there is another book by him ready on my night table.
