After “The Faults of the Fathers,” Perissinotto offers a new journey through the ruins of the recent past, exploring removed memories.
Synopsis. Edoardo Rubessi is a world-renowned geneticist, a likely Nobel laureate. When, after thirty-five years in the United States, he returns to his native Turin, everyone welcomes him as the one who has the power to change the fate of sick children: everyone except the old man. The old man is a man from the past, from those years of lead that Edward thought he had left behind the closed door of a previous life. But all it takes is a tiny crack in the wood of that door for the pain and mysteries imprisoned for decades to come out in a violent breath that overwhelms Edward, and shakes the trust his wife, Susan, has always had in him. And it would be nice to be able to dismiss the old man with a joke, to say that he is just a mythomaniac, but Susan does not fall for it: the old man has the look of one who knows how to be obeyed, the look of a Lagerkommandant, and Susan that domestic lager, that horror at the doorstep will have to explore it brick by brick before she discovers who her husband really is.
Born in Turin in 1964, Alessandro Perissinotto teaches theories and techniques of writing at the University of Turin. He made his debut as a storyteller in 1997 and is the author of twelve novels. His works have been translated in many European countries and Japan.
