Book

Mr Gwyn and Three Times at Dawn (2011)

Mr. Gwyn…Even after “sitting in thought”, I still don’t know how to characterize this novel. It’s not for everyone. It’s like reading a dream. It starts out simple and straightforward. And then, it gets “artsy” to the point that you think you’re reading about some really out there performanc...

Mr Gwyn (2011)

Baricco certainly has a grasp of weaving words into images that become tangible and so real you feel part of the story. While the story was clever and you inevitably become emotionally invested in the characters, the story falls apart at the end. The story becomes difficult to follow, and while i...

Book

Tres veces al amanecer (2012)

Como en "Seda". Como en "Océano Mar". Incluso como en su suprema "City", Alessandro Baricco utiliza sólo las palabras esenciales. Las frases concretas y perfectas para relatar historias que se mueven quietas y, a la vez, agitadas en personajes que ven el espectáculo de su vida, quieto, pasar. Est...

Emmaus (2009)

Merveilleux. Libro insulso e senza senso, oltretutto riesce ad essere particolarmente noioso pur se breve.

Emaús (2009)

Hace tiempo leí o escuché que Baricco estaba sobrevalorado. Lo mismo. Pero a mí las tres novelas cortas suyas que he leído ("Seda", "Sin Sangre" y "Emaús" me han parecido bastante buenas. Y lo mejor de todo es que cada una ha sido distinta a la anterior. Esta es muy Marsé, y a mí Marsé me pone, n...

Ocean Sea (2000)

There was about a minute when I was a little girl when I wanted to play baseball with the boys, and my dad was trying to teach me some stuff. I was about five when this happened, but I remember one of the first things he said to me was that, “You can’t always swing for the fences.” Which was good...

Without Blood (2005)

Confesso, conscio di rischiare di attirarmi le ire degli ammiratori di Baricco e di questo romanzo in particolare, che io di "Senza sangue" taglierei senza pietà la prima parte e terrei solamente la seconda, in special modo le scene al caffè e all'albergo. In queste scene, infatti, si concentra, ...

Silk (1998)

« Dicevano che era un truffatore. Dicevano che era un santo. Qualcuno diceva: ha qualcosa addosso, come una specie di infelicità. »Ordine, prego! Silenzio in aula. Silenzio, prego (due colpi col martelletto). La Corte di Giustizia si riunisce oggi per decretare l’assoluzione o la condanna a pena ...

They sat there, watching. Prof. Taltomar with the cigarette butt between his lips. Gould with a wool cap on his head, hands in his pockets.Minutes and minutes.Then Gould, not taking his eyes off the game, said:“Wild storm on the field. Twenty minutes into the second half. Pass from the left, the ...
