Tragic tale of a simpleminded man and the friend who loves and tries to protect him.
Des personnages crus mais bien amené, dans un univers cru et réaliste, pour une fin cru qui a failli me faire chialax. Ça se lit très bien et on est vite émotionnellement impliqué. Une très bonne découverte.
The famous Mark Twain quote "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one" is now considered to be a misattribution, that Twain never said.
Nonetheless, whoever did say it - this book made me think of it. Truly it takes skill, craft, and artistry to write well and also be succinct.
This book feels perfect not because there's nothing else to add, but because there's nothing else to take away.
This book captured my imagination in 120 pages. And now it will stay with me for a while.
Il racconto si svolge nell'arco di soli tre giorni e in poco più di 90 pagine crea dei personaggi a cui ci si affeziona velocemente. Splendido.
