After 6 minutes of that (near-)death experience, he spent several days in a coma and awoke to discover he had suffered brain damage and was told that he may never walk again. Perfect conditions. Brevi racconti di citta' che sembrano calate in dimensioni spazio-temporali non lineari, tra una logica dell'assurdo che a lungo andare diventa "piacevolmente prevedibile" ed elementi reali che ci permettono di interpretarne il significato.
