2.5 Es un libro lleno de reflexiones y anedoctas, habla de temas de actualidad o candentes como la decadencia, tercera edad, dignidad de la persona, y carácter humanitario, su redacción es clara y directa, aunque no termino de convencerme se me quedo corto, le reconozco la claridad pero no me llego de todo.

(Audiobook) Beautiful. I'm not really sure what else to say about this short essay. I did not know Theodor Kallifatides before I stumbled across this title, but now I want to read everything he ever wrote.
Maybe he touched me more deeply because of his reflection on his home country and customs left behind - so much so that even his language was set aside, in favor of the Swedish he wrote in, his new homeland.
In any case, I recommend this extremely poetic reflection on writing, aging, immigrating and caring. Especially in audiobook, masterfully narrated by Kevin Stillwell.

There were so many moments in this book that made me think "I'm going to quote this when I write my review". I had thought so assuming that I would be able to read the book at home, where having a proper keyboard would make writing quotes easier. The thing is though that I haven't bern able to put this book down. I finished it just now while sitting in a metro in Stockholm, feeling like there were things I needed to read for my own sake in this book. It's such a heartfelt reflection that addresses flaws of humanity in an warmly contemplative way. I am so happy that I got to read this.
