Reseñas de la Crítica

"Brave and deeply felt.... Here the novel is not only a medium of illumination, but also a buoy cast into the dark waters of memory, imagination, and boldly embodied questions. In other words, it is my favorite kind of writing, the kind that not only tells of the world - but burrows through it, alive.” (Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous)

“Claudia Durastanti's writing is lyrical and sharp, underpinned with a searching gaze that turns the everyday into something darkly beautiful. Every page feels totally, absorbingly, alive.” (Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure)

“Halfway between Natalia Ginzburg and Joan Didion, Durastanti’s [Strangers I Know] is her Family Lexicon.” (L’Independente)

Hypnotic

I couldn't stop listening to it. One profound observation about the human condition after another, such as, "Identity is a story someone tells you about yourself." Or something like that.

Boring

The whole story, if there’s a story at all. 15 words?a waste of time!
