What happens when a beautiful and talented witch refuses to use her powers? Even as a child, Gillian could perform magic far better than most people.

C'era una volta il favoloso mondo di Lossiniere, un paese dove non suonano i telefoni e si viaggia in carrozza. Napoli, invece, è un inferno vero di traffico e spazzatura. Uno scrittore, appena arrivato da Roma, scopre che l'evento a cui doveva partecipare è stato annullato all'ultimo minuto. Il viaggio, in apparenza inutile, gli fa conoscere una enigmatica maestra e lo porta all'incontro fortuito con un manoscritto ambientato nel paese di Lossiniere, "Il libro di Clara e Riki", e con il mistero della sua autrice: una bambina di otto anni.

Sono atmosfere rarefatte e surreali a fare da sfondo ai racconti di Disadorna. Seguendo quel tocco lieve e ironico che contraddistingue il realismo magico tutto padano di Dario Franceschini, incontriamo uomini storditi di fronte alla vastità del mare, ci perdiamo nella nebbia che avvolge la pianura, scoviamo ricordi e amori lontani, vediamo le storie con gli occhi dei protagonisti. Forse, ci dice l'autore, è proprio nelle cose più semplici della vita che si nasconde la felicità.

More absurd, horrifying, and downright inexplicable shorts from the author of The Man Who Stands in Line. Included are such soon-to-be classics as Buzz-Saw Bob, the sport of pendulum watching, yet another secret to ultimate success, the art of gasping, a neighbor who is definitely not Mr. Rogers, and Buddha's morning commute. I legally can't promise that this book will transform you into the demiurge you were meant to be. All I can say is that no medical studies have proven otherwise, and the FDA moves very slowly.

I have come to suspect that life is magical. How else do you explain the language that has grown up about it: serendipity, coincidence, déjà vu, foresight, extrasensory? Those are all descriptions of the supernatural. It’s silly to pretend that magic doesn’t exist, just because we think we are too mature and sophisticated to acknowledge it. Michael knew that. For many years, I forgot how to see magic. But, now that I have finally and fortunately discovered it again, let me tell you the strange story of the wizard in the wood. If you’re lucky, it might change your life.
