“L’allegra brigata era impegnata in una delle tante attività da osteria. L’osteria. Un autentico mondo a sé. Era lì che suo nonno e suo padre si rifugiavano, puntuali come orologi svizzeri. Per sentirsi vivi. Per condividere un’atmosfera di perenne elettricità. L’osteria: dove il tempo si era fermato, sostituito dal tajut. Lì l’unità di misura dell’esistenza era il tajut, come altrove era il minuto. Equivaleva a un ottavo di litro: un bicchiere colmo di vino, bevuto più volte e in varie occasioni durante la giornata. Se sessanta secondi fanno un minuto e sessanta minuti un’ora, e ventiquattr’ore un giorno, otto tajut fanno un litro, due litri un bottiglione, dodici bottiglioni una damigiana. Ecco fatto il cronometro made in Friuli. L’osteria: dove, complice la giusta infilata di tajut, si discuteva di tutto, dall’amata Udinese (“Sempre la solita: o vince 2 a 0 o perde 2 a 0, le mezze misure mai”) alla storia d’Italia (“Eh, se Cadorna avesse usato l’artiglieria, non avremmo avuto Caporetto”), dalla sagra di paese (“Quest’anno le fette di polenta erano un po’ bruciate”) alle storie più assurde (“Ma lo sapevate che Felice ha cambiato sesso? Felicia, si fa chiamare adesso”). Un giorno o l’altro, Drago ne era sicuro, da un’osteria sarebbe uscita anche la dimostrazione dell’esistenza di Dio. Ci stavano lavorando.”

“There was a famous narrative theorist named Paul Ricœur who distinguished between "clock time" and "human time." Clock time was measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days: the things we think of as the basic building blocks of time. Human time, though, was measured in events: the basic building blocks of story - and thus, because humans love nothing more than to narrativize their own experiences, of our lives.”
