Synopsis

This book is a collection of short stories, articulated in 7 sections. Cassandra is about vision. A "premonition." It is loosely related to neuro difference, mental illness, mental states often considered "altered." Hell is about death (as an ultimately altered state), but not only. Also about our imaginary of the afterlife, especially about the figure of the devil/demon, the idea of evil. Mozart, a section about love, declined by a number of different love stories, some happy some not, some complex, some linear. In Color is also about love, but from a child's point of view. It is about childhood. I should say girlhood. About coming of age, but it goes backwards and closes upon infant memories. Alter Alter contains the title story, and it focuses on the main theme of the book. It contains several stories of sisterhood, either biological or not. All the stories in Long Distance add to the relationship with the other an element of displacement and remoteness. Drift amplifies the distance and resumes a surreal tone, similar to that of the first section.
