"You feel like you’re a record store full of strangers; here they go, ambling up your aisles, riffling through your stacks."

This was really good. All stories were a little sad, a little funny, and never taking themselves too seriously.

[a:Raphael Bob-Waksberg|14679259|Raphael Bob-Waksberg|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] avrà sempre la mia massima stima per aver ideato una delle serie animate più geniali e profonde al tempo stesso: Bojack Horseman. E sono proprio quell'atmosfera e quel tono dolceamaro che ho ritrovato tra le pagine di questo libro (che è una raccolta di racconti). Si sorride, si riflette e ci si ritrova catapultati in mondi e situazioni credibili per quanto assurde. Alcuni racconti sono più riusciti di altri (i due innamorati in metropolitana sono probabilmente il picco), alcuni più divertenti e ironici, altri più malinconici. Un libro che si legge con piacere, lontano dall’essere perfetto, ma sicuramente più lontano dall’essere trascurabile.
