rarely do book reviews of fiction in this blog. I deal with contemporary history, particularly the history of twentieth-century Italian. Lately I've been devoting energies on the history of asylum law, an issue that is particularly close to my heart.
But in this post I will tell you about a certain Fabio Fracas, which the publisher dbooks.it printed a short story collection.
The title says it all " Long trips in space short." Fracas is how it presents its stories
" not only travel materials - or rather the material aspect of the trip - but, rather, travel intimate and profound. Travel to the discovery of ourselves and of what the trip - and how to paraphrase a metaphor for life and knowledge - is .
But they are something more. A journey through his life, including places the soul and mental spaces.
Fracas Each story is an invitation to reflection. The journey is an excuse, an "accident" as he would say, to light a mechanism that leads us to discover ourselves.
A book I recommend, and which will not reveal almost nothing, only that you will be enraptured by the word-sign, and that any meaning it refers to another, and each story is a long journey of initiation to the religion of metalanguage, where Words are only the means to travel far.
The boiler is under pressure, the locomotive snorts impatiently. And then, gentlemen, in a carriage!
should be a prophecy? One day these stories will be considered the beginning of a new literary form. What? The story.
I say that already exists? Read them, and think again. And if you'll look out a window of a train, and you wonder if the countryside is really real, then you will understand that the fault is of a certain Fabio Fracas.
