Non metterò questo TW in spoiler in quanto credo sia fondamentale scriverlo, come menzionare anche il linguaggio estremamente violento e gore usato dall autore.
Un libro che termino di leggere in data 27 gennaio 2024 e che mi fa piangere, pensando che vogliamo sempre ricordare un genocidio ma voltiamo le spalle ad un popolo che ne soffre uno da anni ed anni.
Una menzione che deriva dall’ esperienza dell autore, almeno a latere, in quanto libanese vissuto in Francia così come il protagonista.
Per quanto riguarda l’ opera, malgrado il linguaggio e il soggetto fortemente violento, l’ ho molto apprezzato e l’utilizzo di punti solamente animali piuttosto che umani mi ha lasciata esterrefatta. La trama a volte pecca di poco ritmo e leggera banalità in tante fasi iniziali (la ricerca vera e propria dell assassino) mentre si fa più interessante una volta che i due cominciano il faccia a faccia. L’ uso del sesso forse troppo reiterato, ma posso capire determinate scelte.
Non un libro facile, non un libro a cui approcciarsi senza saper nulla (per questo non ritengo utile nascondere le info precedenti in uno spoiler). Comunque un libro che segna, scuote, fa pensare e fa riflettere. Un libro che vuole parlare al lettore e muovere la sua coscienza.
Ed oggi più che mai, ancora di piu, penso che questo libro mostri come la storia si ripeta e dobbiamo essere pronti a sostenere chi davvero ha bisogno di aiuto.

Un libro che apre come un thriller molto curioso perché raccontato dal punto di vista degli animali che incrociano la strada del protagonista ma che affonda le sue radici nel dolore collettivo del conflitto palestinese.
