“The book is like a refrigerator. "
Alessandro Barikko: “The book is like a refrigerator that you open and pleasantly surprised that it is complete” The Italian Alessandro Barikko came to music from music. His books can be singing, you can whisper, you can cry. Barikko’s prose is unusually textured, plastic - it is like you can weave, folding, a page behind a page, a single canvas - the finest silk canvas, a warm blanket, plush, burlap. You can talk to them, walk, they are unusually alive.
