Eighteen-year-old Antonio, whose parents have been divorced for years, doesn’t feel very close to his father at the onset of their traveling from Italy to Marseilles, France, where Antonio goes for a medical follow up appointment on his years-ago diagnosis of a mild form of epilepsy. Once there, Antonio is told that it is possible that he has outgrown the condition. Yet to find out if this is so, it’s recommended that Antonio spend two full days without sleep or his usual medication. In an unfamiliar city, spending those two days, and nights, without sleep, father and son become more familiar, awakening in each of them an irrevocable bond. The tension in this coming-of-age story lies in the condition Antonio suffers from and the story advances without sentimentally to a satisfyingly tender and poignant conclusion. I highly recommend this wonderfully paced novel. It's a book that will stay with its reader for a long, long time. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: "In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning." - F. Scott Fitzgerald A coming-of-age novelâ??a heady union of Before Sunrise and Beautiful Ruinsâ??about a father and his teenage son who are forced to spend two sleepless nights exploring the city of Marseilles, a journey of unexpected adventure and profound discovery that helps them come to truly know each other. Antonio is eighteen years old and on the cusp of adulthood. His father, a brilliant mathematician, hasn't played a large part in his life since divorcing Antonio's mother but when Antonio is diagnosed with epilepsy, they travel to Marseille to visit a doctor who may hold the hope for an effective treatment. It is there, in a foreign city, under strained circumstances, that they will get to know each other and connect for the first time. A beautiful, gritty, and charming port city where French old-world charm meets modern bohemia, father and son stroll the streets sharing strained small talk. But as the hours pass and day gives way to night, the two find themselves caught in a series of caffeine-imbued adventures involving unexpected people (and unforeseen trysts) that connect father and son for the first time. As the two discuss poetry, family, sex, math, death, and dreams, their experience becomes a mesmerizing 48-hour microcosm of a lifetime relationship. Both learn much about illusions and regret, about talent and redemption, and, most of all, about love. Elegant, warm, and tender, set against the vivid backdrop of 1980s Marseille and its beautiful calanquesâ??a series of cliffs and bays on the city's outskirtsâ??Three O'Clock in the Morning is a bewitching coming-of-age story imbued with nostalgia and a revelatory exploration of time and fate, youth and adu No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Un padre e un figlio, obbligati dalle circostanze, passeranno insieme a Marsiglia due giorni straordinari nei quali riusciranno ad avvicinarsi e a scoprirsi come non era mai successo prima.
Una storia intima e al tempo stesso struggente raccontata con il consueto stile misurato ma che riesce a colpire in profondità e in cui si coglie anche una partecipazione emotiva dello scrittore.
Una prova maiuscola in un genere diverso dal solito che conferma una volta di più la bravura di questo scrittore.
