Specifications: Volume 2003, is the work of successful Licalzi (debut in 2001 with "not me"). Novel of 250 pages or so, fast and easy to read. Plot: The story of Mario is the classic late thirties who knows his maturity, his venture into life forgetting the powder residue of adolescence and youth.
Reluctant to make decisions, to load on their shoulders the responsibilities and their own growth, will have to deal with Julie (his girlfriend, with whom he had a child) and the difficulties of life (work, being a father, compared with the death and pain). It 's almost a personal journal that could be drawn on the skin of many people, those people who (by definition of the volume) answered "do not know" surveys, answer "I do not know" to the front forks, they can not help but say " I do not know "when they have to make a choice.
Comment: In some ways I found it autobiographical, but this is a subjective parameter, someone can meet again in the role of Mario, not someone else. The fact remains that the life of this character and this is basically very credible, his passions and his being a free spirit that will not conform to the harsh reality of life is a passage of many staff (All?), More or less. Loose and fast reading, it is too "light" in some parts. Above all, reading is going ahead with the clear sense of the derailment as "I do not know" of the title leaves room for other events, other events in the life of Mark, and I think it goes a little way from the novel.
The final feeling is that he started a book with expectations, and it finished with a tally different. Not that I discourage reading, but the predicament is not the final balance the hours spent in my opinion: do not you come out enriched, nor do we think that much.
Overall Rating: 6 -
