Henning Mankell
“remembered him coming home after long shifts and immediately sitting down at the kitchen table, forcing my mother to listen to his complaints about all his difficult colleagues and the maître d’s, not to mention the diners he had to put up with. I never heard him accept responsibility for any tricky situation that had arisen; it was always the other person who had been in the wrong. When I was a child, I thought my father was an amazing man who never made any mistakes, but as time went on I realised that of course he was simply blaming someone else. That was also why he burdened himself with what sometimes seemed like a bottomless sorrow over a life that had turned out to be a failure.”
Henning Mankell, After the Fire

Paolo Cognetti
“Ma ormai avevo imparato a fare le domande degli adulti, in cui si chiede una cosa per saperne un'altra.”
Paolo Cognetti, Le otto montagne

Paolo Cognetti, Le otto montagne

Henning Mankell
“I’m afraid I am hopelessly, furiously envious of all those who will continue to live when I am dead. I am equally embarrassed and terrified by the thought. I try to deny it, but it recurs with increasing frequency the older I get.”
Henning Mankell, After the Fire
