Libro

The book I’d like writing... I already wrote it 41 years ago. Its title is Libro (Book) and is just a collection of the whole story of the same book: from the publisher proposal to its evolution during the printing process, from the thorough and comprehensive description of its morphology (its dimensions, its weight, how much ink has been used, etc.) to the calculation of how many words and specific letters have been printed. Anyway, if it’s true that a writer tells always the same story even though in different ways, I’d like repeating and living this experience with a new book, with same intentions but different from the previous one. But my real wish, impossible to come true, would be concluding my book with the comments of whoever has read it...
