Reviews

[Carlo Mascellani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un documento assai prezioso per chi si accosta a quest'autore per la prima volta. Gusti, speranze, aspirazioni, luci e ombre di una vita vissuta in maniera concitata, esasperata, combattuta e contrastata, rivivono in queste pagine di corrispondenza con l'amata e forniscono un quadro quanto mai esaustivo di questa personalità schiva, ma profonda, cinica, ma passionale, dolce, ma facilmente propensa alla collera, di un autore a torto spesso dimenticato dai manuali letterati o citato distrattamente.
