Sorin Hadârcă's review

Jul 30, 2020

it was amazing

bookshelves: africa, mediterranean

Short and deep. We all bear the mark of history and the safest place to be is becoming an uninvolved observant of the passing life (a neighborhood café is a perfect vantage point for that matter). With that comes some wicked optimism: things will improve eventually because things are in a constant flux.
