Olivia Laing ha quarantadue anni quando diventa proprietaria per la prima volta di un giardino. È un giardino trascurato da tempo| come sembrano indicare i nodi dei rampicanti che coprono i mattoni rossi| gli alberi da frutto marcescenti e le rose dai colori sbiaditi. Fino a quel momento| la sua aspirazione botanica si era manifestata solo in un sogno ricorrente: una porta che conduce verso un luogo sconosciuto| in cui lei| priva di peso| si ritrova ad abitare un territorio nuovo| ricco di potenzialità.

Nachdem Gottfried Keller durch Konfrontation mit der Realität zur Einsicht gelangte, dass der Beruf des Landschaftsmalers seiner Erwartungshaltung bezüglich eines regelmäßigen und sicheren Einkommens nicht genügte, ebnete eine Laune des Schicksals ihm einen anderen Lebensweg. Aus Langeweile schreibt Keller ein paar Verse, die überraschenderweise sogar veröffentlicht werden und zwar nicht im Eigenverlag. Ermutigt und beflügelt von seiner anscheinend vorhandenen literarischen Begabung erwacht der geisteswissenschaftliche Ehrgeiz in ihm, der schließlich in seinen prosaischen Fähigkeiten mündet.

Come si fa oggi a stare nel mondo? In questo mondo. A trovare un modo, un posto adatto a noi che siamo consapevoli di essere privilegiati ma dobbiamo fare i conti anche coi nostri, di traumi, piccoli o grandi, oltre che con quelli giganteschi di chi è sotto le bombe, di chi è oppresso, povero, svantaggiato. Ci si vergogna a dire che ci si sente soli, ma lo siamo sempre di più. Daria Bignardi lo dice con sincerità, ironia, coraggio. Sente che la solitudine può essere una prigione ma anche un posto da cui ascoltare il battito del cuore del mondo. Il mondo la chiama e lei parte.

Deborah Levy revient sur sa vie. Elle fuit à Majorque pour réfléchir et se retrouver, et pense à l'Afrique du Sud, ce pays qu'elle a quitté, à son enfance, à l'apartheid, à son père – militant de l'ANC emprisonné –, aux oiseaux en cage, et à l'Angleterre, son pays d'adoption. Telle la marquise Cabrera se délectant du 'chocolat magique', elle est devenue écrivaine en lisant Marguerite Duras et Virginia Woolf.
