Recensioni

Il romanzo, uscito nella prima metà degli anni Novanta e rimasto a dormicchiare da allora nella mia libreria, è l’estensione di un racconto lungo vincitore del premio Hugo nel 1992. Quest’ultimo è ora la prima parte di questo volume e lascia parecchio perplessi, con quella che pare un’esaltazione dell’individualismo di sapore reaganiano. Negli altri tre segmenti dell’opera, la prospettiva invece cambia e i rapporti fra gli Insonni, frutto di una mutazione genetica che li rende quasi immortali e di intelligenza superiore, e i Dormienti si fanno più complessi attraverso un umanesimo che cerca di costruire una convivenza fra due comunità che arrivano a odiarsi: fine che diventa ancor più urgente quando l’ennesima manipolazione del DNA crea dei Superinsonni che stanno a quelli di prima generazione come questi ultimi stanno ai normali esseri umani. L’evoluzione della storia si svolge, come detto, in quattro segmenti che sono divisi da una ventina d’anni l’uno dall’altro: con pochi aggiustamenti, potrebbero essere altrettanti romanzi brevi, delineando una struttura che non favorisce certo la continuità dell’azione e lascia spazio a qualche situazione un po’ farraginosa. I momenti poco trascinanti non mancano, ma la narrazione si fa più interessante con il passare delle pagine: al tirar delle somme, le ultime due sezioni si fanno senza dubbio preferire perché la scrittrice riesce meglio a gestire una materia che si fa complessa e il crescente numero di personaggi (tanto che le si perdona più volentieri qualche sviolinata di troppo agli Stati Uniti e alla loro Costituzione). Il finale resta abbastanza aperto, così da rendere possibili quei seguiti che sono regolarmente arrivati: malgrado il romanzo sia stato una piacevole lettura agostana, non penso che mi darò molto da fare per recuperarli.… (altro)
