È il ritornello che Allen Iverson, in preda ai fumi dell’alcol, pronunciò all’infinito in una famigerata conferenza stampa del 2002. I suoi Sixers erano stati buttati fuori dai playoff e lui si era scontrato per l’ennesima volta con il coach Larry Brown. È attorno a questo episodio, presagio di una vertiginosa caduta, che si avvolge come una spirale l’irrequieta esistenza di A.I., o The Answer, com’era noto a quei tempi.

Il libro racconta le loro speranze, i loro trionfi, le tragedie che hanno segnato questi due secoli e mezzo.

Josef Mengele, el médico del horror de Auschwitz, murió en libertad.
