Susanna Tamaro is an Italian author whose works often delve into the inner lives and moral quandaries of her characters. Her distinctive narrative voice, characterized by a certain restraint and profound insight into human psychology, makes her a unique presence in contemporary literature. Many of her pieces, celebrated for their emotional resonance, have connected with readers across diverse cultures and languages. Through her essays and fiction, she explores complex themes with an accessible yet thought-provoking approach.

In "Monday Again", for example, the cruelty meted out to a girl is compounded by a narrative voice which refuses to understand what it reports. Tamaro exposes with analytical clarity, spectres of our past that abide in us as individuals and as a society, disfiguring our humanity.

„Seit er denken konnte, hatte er zu seinem Geburtstag nichts als Bücher bekommen. Erst weiche Bücher aus Stoff, dann Bücher mit großen Bildern und wenigen Wörtern und dann Bücher mit einer Unmenge von Wörtern und wenigen Bildern. Wenn Leopoldo die Augen aufschlug, sah er von seinem Bett aus nichts als Regale, Regale voller Bücher, und unter all den Büchern war nicht eines, das er sich gewünscht hätte.“

Questa è una storia lunga centinaia di anni e insieme pochi giorni, è il mondo visto dalle radici e vissuto tra i rami, è un viaggio nel tempo e nello spazio, ma soprattutto una storia di amore e di speranza. Il libro di cui abbiamo bisogno adesso, scritto da un'autrice capace di parlare al cuore e alla testa, con tono lieve, allegro e pieno di grazia. "La sensazione e l'emozione che ho avuto nello scrivere questo libro sono paragonabili soltanto a quello che ho provato scrivendo, sedici anni fa, Va' dove ti porta il cuore. La letteratura ha bisogno di parlare all'anima. In un tempo di crisi e di cose opache c'è bisogno di qualcosa di luminoso" (Susanna Tamaro)
