Sinossi
Immaginate di svegliarvi in aereo. Immaginate di non sapere da dove siete partiti né dove state andando e di non avere memoria delle ultime due settimane. Immaginate di avere quattro incisivi rotti, un taglio profondo sul viso e il corpo pieno di lividi. Immaginate di non avere né documenti né soldi né bagagli. Immaginate che la polizia di tre Stati vi stia cercando. Immaginate di essere alcolisti e tossicodipendenti da oltre 10 anni. Immaginate di avere 23 anni...
Amato, contestato, denigrato, tradotto in tutto il mondo e continuamente ristampato, a oltre quindici anni dalla sua prima pubblicazione In un milione di piccoli pezzi mantiene intatta la sua formidabile potenza espressiva, come capita a quei pochi, grandi libri che quasi si separano dal proprio autore e affrontano spavaldi la prova del tempo. L'esplorazione degli abissi della dipendenza che racchiude nelle sue pagine rimane una delle prove di scrittura più dure e sconvolgenti degli ultimi decenni.

addicts exaggerate the truth -- who knew??? first off, it's a great read with a unique style. frey makes a sort of rhythm with his sentence structure throughout the entire story, pulling and pushing the reader along at a pace that he (frey) determines, and that is an amazing accomplishment in itself Leggi tutto
I really wish I'd gotten my shit together to review this before all of the news about how much of it might be fiction started swirling around. But since I didn't, I feel some responsibility to talk about that, as well as about the book itself. Oh well. The drama, in case you live under a rock, is tha Leggi tutto
What a (million little) piece(s) of crap! By the time I finished this book I was craving a few stiff drinks, desperately tearing up the house looking for a syringe and spoon. If I had only thrown this one in the Goodwill bin sooner! I have no clue why anyone would think this was worthwhile reading m Leggi tutto
Let me start by saying that the primary reason I decided to read this book now was that I got it for free. Not that I wasn't curious; I've got a definite weakness for angst and drugs and devastation and redemption. I mean, shit like this is ludicrously popular because it like twangs something in us, Leggi tutto
