Everything can be held together. Just as other topics have their space along with the one revolving around different generations. The other ones may be more lateral in this book than in Magrelli's previous books, but they're not less important: illness, bitterness, music, pop culture. Always with that ability that Magrelli has, to begin with a scene or a simple sentence about something, and transform them into an unexpected, illuminating or often even disturbing mental journey.
