It happens sometimes underestimate what happens to us. It happens, for example, going on a long journey and forget along the way, the destination or the reason for that trip. Or you leave for a short trip and we find ourselves, after so many years, even around the world. In both cases we adapt, for better or worse, the change of perspective, but it underestimates the scope. [...] And if certain things happen to shake the torpor or to show us our true vocation or to warn us that the time available to us is almost over?(Vito Carrassi, Un asino caduto dal cielo)
Good evening readers in slippers! I am back to talk of my reading. Today I "story" a book that kept me company a few weeks ago and for the reading of which I sincerely thank the author, Carrassi Vito, which was really nice and made me gift of a copy of a donkey fell from the sky. It is a novel really very special, sui generis, and proved to be a pleasant reading as unsettling and surprising. But, by now you should know, first we start from history:
What they have in common the direct descendant of an uninterrupted series of authentic wastrel, a thirty year old "almost graduated" with a future already written before him, a young female drivers at the wheel of an old Mini and a donkey fell "literally" from heaven? Maybe all, maybe nothing, is that Cormac McAlister, Grainne O 'Nolan, Evelyn Divney and good Jude The Ass, the famous donkey rebel, intertwined like it or not their destiny. From Dalkey in Dublin, along the Liffey and in the streets of Temple Bar, up to Sandycove, through Blackrock, Dublin Bay is the backdrop to an uninterrupted series of adventures true, probable, improbable or paradoxical as the four characters chasing each other, skim and clash but always with a smile. Because life is basically a long and sometimes just stop and take another route to find that "getting lost" is not so bad ....
