A Calais

Rate this book
«Quello che mi interessa è poter scrivere un reportage nello stesso modo in cui scriverei un libro» afferma Emmanuel Carrère. Così, della «Giungla» di Calais, non ci racconta il fango, la violenza e la miseria del campo, bensì tutto quello che c'è attorno: la rabbia e la frustrazione di una parte dei calesiani; la compassione e la solidarietà di un'altra parte; le fabbriche e i quartieri abbandonati; l'immane apparato poliziesco; il circo mediatico; il «turismo del dolore». E lo fa nel suo modo affabile e diretto, con lo sguardo, insieme lucido ed empatico, di chi si interroga costantemente su tutto – anche su se stesso.
