"Questo breve e intenso primo libro di Erri De Luca porta già impressi in ogni frase - mi sembra - i segni di un vero scrittore: un tono di voce che appena si coglie diventa inconfondibile, e la integrità di uno sguardo che sa mettere nel giusto fuoco i pensieri e i sentimenti. Qui la memoria non è consolazione, ma è un dramma, e il tempo gioca un suo gioco crudele stabilendo distanze insormontabili tra chi narra e la materia del proprio racconto. Una luce bianca e densa come quella che filtra da nuvole alte bagna queste pagine.
