Un racconto sottile e delicato come la stoffa che ne dà il titolo, scivola addosso con il piacere di una carezza.
Penso di capire il fascino che questo libro può suscitare, ma io trovo la sua inconsistenza inadatta a me che, soprattutto ultimamente, seguo una dieta di storie polpose da sbranare con avidità.

i literally read this book in one sitting on a plane. not memorable. the story didn't seem to have much of a point and, despite being very short, was rather repetitive.
Seide ist ein kurzes Buch, das ich schon lange lesen wollte und das mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Es sind kurze Kapitel mit einer leicht poetischen Sprache, über eine platonische, unerreichbare Liebe. Schauplatz der Geschichte ist das 19. Jahrhundert und die Seidenspinnerei in Frankreich. Die Eier der Seidenraupen werden von Hervé Joncour in Japan gekauft und jedes Jahr dauert die Reise einige Monate. In Japan trifft er auf die mysteriöse Frau des Händlers, in der er sich verliebt.
The best book I've read in months. Maybe I just have a thing for unconsumed love because I think it's the only way love can exist. Of course I do.
