Catches you offguard
This is not a novel that immediately captures you from word one and won't allow you to put it down. Indeed, I could only proceed a few pages at a time as different interviewees spouted their opinions on the man called "Bakunin" and, later, his son. The shifts in narrative perspective were brusque, though intentionally done. It wasn't until nearly halfway through this novella that I found myself suddenly knowing this man, his friends, the causes he fought for. In fact, through Atzeni's narrative, one feels not that one is reading, per se, in as much as Experiencing the events pre- and post-war Italy. The twist at the end is cute, not shocking, but it is the overall effect of this storytelling style that makes me wish there were another translation of Atzeni available in the U.S. A fine read.

Welcome to Sardinia
Se non siete mai stati in Sardegna, questo libro è una buona occasione per iniziare: un fulminante affresco multicolore dell'Isola più mediterranea del mondo, un centinaio di pagine senza neanche un luogo comune ma un fiume di parole a metà tra cronaca e poesia, saggio sociologico e racconto epico. Il protagonista della storia, Tullio Saba, è un eroe controverso che con la grinta e la passione civica che erano stati del padre (il ciabattino anarchico soprannominato per questo Bakunìn) attraversa avventure politiche e storie d'amore, torbidi intrighi antifascisti e fulminanti carriere da trombetista, in una Sardegna vera, lontana dai villaggi-vacanza e dalle coste dorate del nord. Da questo libro il regista Salvatore Cabiddu ha tratto un bellissimo film senza tradire lo stile narrativo dell'autore né l'atmosfera che si respira in queste pagine, felicissime, del suo amico Sergio Atzeni. Comprate subito il libro, chiudetevi in camera a leggerlo, e benvenuti in Sardegna.
