A proposito di questo titolo
The centenary edition, with an introduction by Nadeem Aslam.
‘You have a voice that couldn’t lie. There are voices that can’t lie.’
A blind Greek pedlar listens as a mother and father, estranged for years, travel across Europe to their daughter’s wedding.
Ninon is marrying Gino in Italy. She is twenty-three years old and she is dying of AIDS. Fragments of conversations, songs and silence blend in a swirl of vignettes that are both tragic and joyous, erotic and wise.
On their wedding day, Ninon takes off her shoes and dances barefoot with Gino as if they will never grow tired, as if their happiness is eternal, as if death will never touch them. To the Wedding is a novel of heartache, of hope and of a love that triumphs over death.
‘One of the greatest and most honest love stories of our time’ Colum McCann

Recensioni della critica
'To The Wedding is one of the greatest and most honest love stories of our time. It does what all great literature can and should do -- we become alive in bodies, stories, histories, geographies not our own. We are given a new lease on life through an imaginative act. If I ever pack up my books, this novel will not go into a box, rather I will slip it into my overcoat and carry it with me wherever I happen to be' (Colum McCann)
'No one knows more about the necessity of love than John Berger: what love makes us capable of, and incapable of. This is a book of the most precise humanity. No one who reads it will forget what it makes us understand: every action has its twin, conscionable or unconscionable; every truth, its shadow in the world; everything lost, alive in love' (Anne Michaels)
'A masterpiece ... a novel that will haunt you'
‘A great, sad, and tender lyric, a novel that is a vortex of community and compassion that somehow overcomes fate and death. Wherever I live in the world, I know I will have this book with me' (Michael Ondaatje)
