“THE STRAY DOGS”
EL Edition ” Frontiers ” 1999
A short story, deliberately short, I think.
And about the stream of memory. It concerns the synthetic,articulate reconstruction of a longed trip which turns into tragedy…
It’s a dramatic, hard book, as is its language which, without falling into the common and trite youth slang, has its own dry, rough, almost “irritating” quality.
A language, by the other hand, skillful in its pauses and in some just hinted but very vivid described digressions…
It’s a painful book but honest, I think.
