Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. "Questo libro s' intitola City. Mi rendo conto che, dopo Seta, era meglio trovare qualcosa che suonasse un po' diverso. Ma questo libro è costruito come una città, come l'idea di una città. Mi piaceva che il titolo lo dicesse. Adesso lo dice. Le storie sono quartieri, i personaggi sono strade. Il resto è tempo che passa, voglia di vagabondare e bisogno di guardare. Ci ho viaggiato per tre anni, in City. Il lettore, se vorrà, potrà rifare la mia strada" Alessandro Baricco.
