Today I’m Playing Hooky
by Daria Bignardi
Description
A novel full of life that blends ordinary and mysterious voices
Galla, the novel’s main character (named after the Roman Empress Galla Placidia) started hearing a Voice after being abandoned by her husband and taking a trip to Munich: it’s the voice of Gabriele Münter, the German painter and Kandinsky’s partner until he left her without an explanation, just like what happened to Galla. Bianca is seventeen years old, she can’t go to school anymore, and she listens to the American rapper XXXTentacion all day long. Nicola constantly seduces one woman after another in an attempt to forget Rosa; he has been scared of flying ever since their relationship ended and can no longer go on assignments around the world for the NGO he used to work for. They all are looking for a way to escape their pain and they are all seeing the same therapist, Anna Del Fante, young and recently widowed, sweet and mysteriously serene.
