I like the idea of this far better than the execution. I share Pericoli's obsession with views, with the way the frame of a window frames your perception, and how much the environment outside your window can shape your creative life. His ink drawings are simple but can be evocative -- though often I do wish they incorporated color or more detail. It's the essays that really let this concept down. They're just not very interesting or good? Which is especially disappointing when your contributors are all writers. But most simply do not have anything compelling to say, and one even starts going on about "the nobility of poverty" (vom).
2.5 stars, rounded up for what could have been.

A simple book. I love the unique perspectives from around the world. The architectural drawings are incredible.

A very lovely idea and interesting experiment.
Though, some writers did do a very poor job of this assignment.
But most did a beautiful job, telling subtle stories related to the view through their windows.

molto carino, da leggere in qualunque momento, si scoprono autori sconosciuti e voci interessanti, oltre al fatto che i disegni sono bellissimi e l'idea è suggestiva e interessante è quasi commovente
