"And this little volume dedicated to the rustic Davos of a handful of sick people should be placed in a particular light - and in part of failures - who maintain their precarious health in this Zauberberg of the frontier infested with rattlesnakes and poisonous herbs. A light that allows us to grasp that stylistic maturity that is on the verge of germinating in the freedom of invention, of definitively freeing itself from the last constraints of a personal experience and the residues of a long, exhausting internship."
