“Time Again” is a game of autobiography: the author wanders through her own life; fiction is intertwined with reality, what happened merges with what could have happened, with what 'would be nice' to happen; “if I had a second chance, a second life, I would become...”.

This book -the memoirs of a person who lived “a constellation of events”- is sometimes social history, sometimes literary criticism, sometimes travel prose; it is the recording of a personal philosophy about existence and writing, about life in the metropolis, about the failure of love, about Shakespeare, about Kerensky’s justice against the Bolsheviks, about the struggles of Formula 1 and about French fries.

On the pages of “Time Again” -which can be read in any order- moments unfold like a map; the literary landscapes are landscapes of the soul. In the margins, observations and questions are noted about poetry, politics, friendship, love, loss; about illness and death; about how you can transform despair into the most unwavering hope.

Among what time has brought -the time that only harms you “if you are cheese...”-, is a wonderful childhood, a youth that went too far, a rebellion that never ended. “Time Again” is an invented biography; above all, it is a tribute to books, to how reading can save your life.
