Eh! Se non la leggo è perché ha poco o niente da dirmi, oppure dice troppe cose, tutte assieme, in maniera a volte prolissa a volte ridondante e, quasi sempre, con l'immancabile elemento di gratuita morbosità.
Qua c'è tutto: il troppo, la ridondanza e un paio di morbosità. Ma almeno dice qualcosa.
È una sorta di romanzo di formazione sul primo anno di università della campagnola che sbarca nella cittadina universitaria più vicina a casa e che le pare una metropoli. C'è libertà, solitudine, inadeguatezza e interrogativi. Ovviamente autoreferenziali anche se siamo nel dicembre 2001, poco dopo le Torri gemelle: ma i giovani sono così (pare)
Ah, chi scrive le sinossi da quarta di copertina dovrebbe essere tenuto a provare in tribunale di aver prima letto l'opera che sta riassumendo.
Millantatori.… (altro)
