The evening before his wedding day, he suffered a stroke caused by cerebral infarction, and died two days later.

Reviews

[Stefano · Rating 4 out of 5]

Certamente quattro brevi racconti minori di Glauser (che amo ... alla follia .. eh eh eh). Ma che danno una precisa idea della sua visione del padre e delle sue varie esperienze di "pena" (interiore e come internamento). Per chi ama Glauser una chicca da non perdersi.
