Summary

Andrea Bajani: Book of Homes

Every home we've had is part of the puzzle of our lives. Apartments and rooms, houses and cars in which we lived, loved, were happy or inconsolable - are spaces from which we can tailor the story of everything we were and what we are.
Andrea Bajani did just that in his stunning Book of Homes, a novel about a man "whom we will conventionally call I" and his homes - places of friendship and marriage, loyalty and adultery, spaces where the body and poetry were revealed, families prone to self-destruction were formed and broken up.
From the last quarter of the last century until our days, jumping through time, I am the young lover of a married woman in a country house and a child crawling after a turtle in a Roman apartment while scenes of the kidnapped Aldo Mora and the murdered Pier Paolo Pasolini are shown on the television; he is a husband in a Turin bourgeois apartment, a bohemian in a Parisian mansard, and a mature man in a London hotel; he is a boy being beaten by his father in a cottage and a student lying on a mattress on the ground; and then simply a man who closes the door of an empty home behind him. Andrea Bajani's Book of Homes is a journey through the exteriors and interiors from which we originate and in which we continue our lives. In a novel unique in its structure, poetry and vision, one of the best Italian writers of his generation paints a magnificent fresco of sentimental upbringing in square meters, writes a biography of the space and time that brought us into the world.

"Like no one before him, Bajani searches all those places where we discovered and loved the most, where we were wounded and where, finally, we became who we are." - Sandro Veronesi

"Only someone with an unshakable hope for an authentic relationship can so faithfully portray the loneliness that surrounds us." – Nicola Lagioia
