Title: The Island and Time
Publisher: Einaudi, April 2024
Rights: r.vivian literary agency
In this insular detective story where a tight plot meets powerful literary writing, the events take place in a time that is both defined (the 1960s) and undefined, mobile, in a certain sense: a time in which everything keeps happening, in which the past mixes with the present.
An anomalous event, after the initial upheaval, is reduced to nothingness incorporated into the unchanging habits and rhythms of the inhabitants of a small community.
But not for Nofriu, who cannot resume his former life and who remains forever hooked - along with the reader - on the unsolved enigma.
