Otto volumi, otto voci, otto vite che si sfiorano, si scontrano, si inseguono senza saperlo. Ciascuna racconta un frammento dello stesso mondo: quello che si ostina a resistere ai margini, quello che non ha testimoni. Il quarto volume, Susanna. La veglia cieca di chi protegge ciò che la consuma. Susanna si muove su una scena domestica che somiglia a una ferita aperta. Lì, fra eco di parole sorde e stanze che non smaltiscono il disordine e i rifiuti, ogni gesto è un tentativo di restare viva senza cedere al disgusto.

On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.
