Un libro meraviglioso, intimo, che riesce a dire così tanto in così poche pagine e lo fa così bene. Sono sicura che ci ritornerò spesso, perché mi ha lasciato davvero tanto. Lo consiglierei a chiunque è in cerca di un proprio posto, di una sensazione di appagamento e serenità che fatica a trovare, a chi si sente in bilico e a chi deve prendere decisioni importanti ed è incerto su come agire.
La letteratura contemporanea mi ha aperto uno spiraglio su un nuovo modo di comunicare, su un nuovo modo di creare.
