Gli anni di Nettuno sulla terra
Dodici racconti, uno per ogni mese dell'anno, disseminati su quattro decenni, dagli anni Settanta agli anni Duemila. Protagonista è il tempo e la sua puntuale incarnazione in una vita. In ogni racconto il tempo sbroglia la complessità di eventi orizzontali, e si azzarda a restituirci, nella forma verticale sua propria, il senso di un'esistenza. Con un contributo di Elio Grasso.

12 stories. One for every month of the year. Each taking place in a different year (given by the news story at the beginning of each story).
Every story hovered between a 2 and a 3 for me. I guess it was showing how even average people can have interesting backstories or interesting lives, but some of them seemed trite, and some exaggerated to me. But it was nice reading about various places in Switzerland. Maybe I expected more seeing it had won the Swiss Literature Prize in 2019.
A few too many child issues in these stories for me (stillborn, newborn almost killed, abuse).
