Fino a quando, un giorno primaverile di uno degli ultimi anni del ventesimo secolo, non prendo in mano un libro di uno scrittore nato Danzica, per lasciarlo, letto, qualche giorno dopo. Un libro strano, un nano e la Germania, la realtà e la sua interpretazione, la comunicazione e l’incomunicabilità, la latta e il vetro. Al di là degli argomenti trattati, quello che veramente mi offese e mi ferì fu il modo in cui il libro è scritto. Una scrittura stupefacente, una lingua fantastica, un vocabolario sterminato, parole, e la loro combinazione, di una potenza distruttiva, asettica efficacia, parole, ahimè, che ho potuto e potrò leggere solo nella mia lingua madre, da cui un dovuto ringraziamento alla povera traduttrice.
