Rapidi, pastosi, materici come le pennellate di un pittore informale, i capitoli che compongono questa autobiografia, attraversano il Novecento più colto e avventuroso. Fra una risata irriverente e qualche nostalgia, Ezio Frigerio ricorda la sua lunga esistenza con una sorprendente lucidità sentimentale. Nato da famiglia benestante comasca durante il fascismo, l’autore non esita a sorridere malignamente della buona borghesia locale.

Как известно, жизнь каждого яркого дарования делится обычно на три периода. Сначала его осыпают насмешками и бранью, всячески угнетают и преследуют. Потом открывается счастливое время признания, за которым следуют дни восторженного поклонения. Наконец, так же неминуемо наступает охлаждение, сопровождающееся нередко резкими выпадами по адресу недавнего любимца и властителя дум. Этой трафаретной схемы избежали немногие даровитые люди, и единственный вариант, вносимый в нее жизнью, сводится к тому, что одни умирают в расцвете славы, а другим суждено ее пережить, изведать к концу жизни всю горечь забвения.

Goliarda Sapienza anche da bambina è una bambina che vive un suo mondo violento, senza nessuna concessione, che piange con lacrime di rabbia, che respira l’aspra bellezza siciliana, che vede i suoi genitori per quello che sono: una madre sindacalista, tenace nel distinguersi da tutte le altre «donnette», un padre siciliano dalla testa ai piedi. E per rimettere ordine tra le bugie dei ricordi, recupera dalla memoria frammenti di sé che a poco a poco si compongono nel percorso di una donna che vuole essere padrona della sua vita e della sua felicità.
