Alienazione, inquietudine, disagio. Pochi autori comunicano sensazioni simili con così poche parole come la Kristof.
Non che tutti i racconti sono degni di nota, eh. I miei preferiti: I professori (anticipato sulla quarta di copertina: non leggetela!), La casa e Numeri sbagliati.

Una serie di brevissimi, fulminanti racconti che contengono tutte le possibili varianti della cattiveria umana.

2. I Don’t Care: Stories by Agota Kristof

Translated by Chris Andrews

Best hour and half of reading I’ve done in a while. This collection is a stunning quiver of 25 very short arrows, sharp and slicing right into your heart, your gut, your brain. Thematically they circle around loss, exile and searching for home whatever and whoever home means. Some stories are darkly funny, others are heartbreaking. Together they perforated me.

Favorite story: “The Streets” but ask me tomorrow and it might be “My Father” and the third day it might be “A Northbound Train.” #2025books
