"Ascolto ancora vecchia musica jazz e da qualche parte, nascosta in soffitta, ho ancora la sua camicia. Quella macchiata di sangue, con un buco all'altezza del cuore. È di sopra, in una scatola insieme a tutte le sue cose, il libro di Rimbaud, il vestito giallo e un disco in vinile. Posso quasi sentirla, quella scatola, posso avvertirne la presenza mentre guardo il soffitto nella nostra camera al secondo piano, in una bella casa nei dintorni di Boston. Una casa con la staccionata bianca e la porta rossa, le siepi ben tosate e la cuccia del cane in giardino. Sono quasi sicuro che Antoine riderebbe, se mi vedesse così: il tipico americano di fine anni '70, che passa le sue giornate da pensionato innaffiando il prato e costruendo orologi nella rimessa sul retro mentre ascolta Cab Calloway alla radio. Katherine dice che questa mia mania per i ruggenti anni '20 è divertente. Non vuole essere divertente, è solo malinconia". ____________________ VERSIONE REVISIONATA

A tale from the roaring 20s

For the well-to-do Malone cousins, reputation is everything. For the elder cousin, Clara, her reputation is staked to her swift tongue and clever mind. The younger, Ophelia, is a gentle and pure young lady born into a wealthy society, dreaming of the day when she will marry the man of her dreams. Clara is much the opposite, having sworn off love after many a failed attempt. Only when a group of familiar faces blows into town and stays under the same roof do the Malones find themselves in uncharted territory. In this retelling of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, we find the Bard's classic characters thrown into the chaotic world of the American 1920s, complete with lovable gangsters, roaring parties, and the ever-high stakes of romance and all it carries with it.
