ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!
"The country that separates fathers and sono has disoriented many travelers. It is very easy to get lost here. Telemachus, Edgar, Hamlet, and countless others sons, their private dramas ticking away in the silent hours, have sailed so far out in the uncertain distance between past and present that they seem adrift."
pickIn the beginning I tought "Oh no a boring story of memory set in an esotic atmosphere, with interminable nostalgic lines about the taste of the author mother's food". I was wrong, because soon the became a universal one, full of meanings and in which any other father-son relationship can mirror itself, even if far less tragic than his.
pickI bought it after reading the incipit, which is great. And apart from some parts in the mid-section, it keeps that way until the end. Only, the end itself should've been darker, less comforting. In one word, should've been less happy, cause it sounds unnatural.
