Bunike

This is a collection of short stories, composed above all in a — conditionally speaking — asymmetrical structure. It opens with what one might call a novella, the story “Bunike”, which is considerably longer than the other four. It is central to the collection and stands as an axis or, better, a planet around which the others orbit like satellites. This does not mean that those satellites depend on the planet or could not exist on their own, but that they are merely drawn in by its gravity and lie within its field of narrative weight. The stories speak of the existential and metaphysical problems of the main protagonists and of the context in which we live, of the changes brought about by the passage from the — conditionally speaking — “analogue” to the “digital” age, of the bewilderment of those belonging to the generations born somewhere in between, of the problems of the society we live in and its eschatological image of our future. They speak, too, of certain real stories, of feelings and the like.
