IT | I racconti delle @sonpei sono sempre evocativi e a tratti labirintici ma si ritrova sempre la strada
di casa. Questa fiaba arricchita dalle illustrazioni splendide di Marco Calvi ha toni antichi ma tocca temi moderni. Bellissima.
EN | The @sonpei stories are always evocative and at times labyrinthine but you always find your way home. This fairy tale enriched by the splendid illustrations of Marco Calvi has ancient tones but touches on modern themes. Beautiful.

IT | Io di manga non me ne intendo e ho approcciato questa lettura con aspettative forse sbagliate, ma dopo un inizio tiepido e apparentemente inconcludente la storia finalmente si apre a metà del secondo volume, anche se bisognerà comunque aspettare la fine del terzo per apprezzarne la circolarità.
EN | I don't know much about manga and I approached this reading with perhaps the wrong expectations, but after a lukewarm and apparently inconclusive start the story finally opens halfway through the second volume, but you still have to wait until the end of the third one to appreciate its circularity.

IT | Più andavo avanti e più mi annoiavo. Non c'era una singola cosa che mi interessasse abbastanza da convincermi a continuare. Mi spiace Leigh, ci ho provato 💔
EN | The more I went on, the more bored I got. There wasn't a single thing that interested me enough to convince me to continue. Sorry Leigh, I tried 💔

IT | Una delle letture migliori di quest'anno e probabilmente di sempre. Quando inizio un libro che ha più di 300 pagine ho sempre paura di arenarmi, ma questa lettura è stata veloce, scorrevole e piacevole dal primo istante. L'autore riesce a mescolare crudezza e tenerezza in maniera così eccelsa che diventa impossibile mettere giù il libro. Lo scambio continuo tra passato e presente, i ricordi che si rincorrono, i dettagli che ritornano... Tutto è raccontato e tessuto insieme così bene che si stenta a credere che sia il libro di un esordiente. Wow wow wow. Bellissimo.
EN | One of the best reads of this year and probably one of the best reads ever. When I start a book that has more than 300 pages I'm always afraid of getting stuck, but this read was fast, smooth and pleasant from the very first moment. The author manages to mix crudeness and tenderness in such an excellent way that it becomes impossible to put the book down. The continuous exchange between past and present, the memories that chase each other, the details that always return... Everything is told and woven together so well that it is hard to believe that it is his first book. Wow wow wow. Beautiful.

IT | Ciò che mi ha spinta verso questa lettura, cioè l’astrologia, si è rivelata essere la cosa meno interessante. In generale ho pensato tutto il tempo: “non vedo l’ora di essere una vecchia svampita che si occupa dei suoi animaletti e legge gli oroscopi e ammazza gli assassini di animali ”.
EN | What pushed me towards this reading, that is, astrology, turned out to be the least interesting thing. In general I thought the whole time: “I can't wait to be an airhead old lady who takes care of her pets and reads horoscopes and kills those who hunt animals ”.
