Two lives side by side
The Guardian calls it the memoir of the year, but it's also a book that will make you cry. It's certainly impossible to put this story down, which ties together the experiences of John Niven (Gary Niven, What Else Have You Done?, Einaudi), who took his own life in 2010. It's the story of two lives, two destinies: from a childhood in a Scottish town to an adolescence surrounded by bands, 1970s counterculture, but also drugs and pub brawls. An unbridled narrative, full of anger over what's left unsaid, that tackles questions that only literature can answer. Giorgio Scianna interviews him.
