If there really is a female literature, then this book is a male literature raised in absolute equidistance with respect to that other narrative for women that presents stories about heartbreak and disagreement, about female resilience in the face of any adversity.

Because in the end we are so equal that, in the face of defeat, we need the same stimuli to be able to move forward.

And when the time comes to overcome the occasional win in life, in the first instance, man may have to tear down more walls to discover his own emotions and his deepest motivations with which to get ahead completely reborn.

Erri was a boy raised in the inertia of his circumstances. Without some classic family references, he had to find other references as improvised as valid if the message is the right one.

Only that not even because of those Erri grew up as a self-confident guy (and that is because genetics, as well as many other circumstantial factors also play a role).

Erri is a practical stoic, the type who seems to be in a pleasant lethargy, in a hedonism of the contemplation of the growth of grass.

Until the moment when you take the helm of your boat to decide to take advantage of one wind or another instead of succumbing to its whimsical blows.

Life with Matilde progressed by that same inertia in which he was involved since childhood. Only when she leaves it all breaks.

Except that in life things always break for the better. Stripped of his reality, Erri no longer has to go with compliments on his world. Exposed to the world as an ecce homo, Erri no longer has to feign cordiality and submission to his past.

It is never too late to live. Letting time go by, without further ado, one day offers a bleak glimpse. And becoming a new person, better for yourself, is as easy as suffering a vital mishap that ends up freeing you from everything ...
