Questa è la storia di un ragazzo che sentiva di non trovarsi nel posto giusto. E così è andato a cercarsene un altro. In famiglia c'erano pochi soldi: quando si andava in pizzeria si sceglieva il piatto che costava meno, non quello che piaceva davvero. Il suo destino sembrava già segnato. Non aveva un talento particolare a cui affidarsi né un grande sogno da inseguire, e ogni volta che cercava di esprimere un desiderio trovava qualcuno che gli diceva che non era per lui. Così si era convinto che certi pensieri non se li poteva permettere.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando Este libro constituye un acto de gratitud intelectual, una muestra de deslumbramiento —producto de una fervorosa lectura de sus libros—, pero sobre todo es una invitación a acercarse al autor latinoamericano más universal. Escribió Jorge Luis Borges que él se sentía más orgulloso de las obras que había leído que de las que había escrito. Orgullo que comparte con uno de sus mejores lectores: José Emilio Pacheco.
