Questo è il testo che Claire Messud leggerà stasera, 13 luglio, allo Stadio Palatino per il Festival Letterature
Mentre scrivevo Questa nostra strana storia, ero consapevole dell’interazione della Storia, dei vasti, inesorabili movimenti del Ventesimo secolo, con le storie più piccole dei personaggi, le loro esperienze quotidiane, le relazioni personali e le vite interiori.
