Mark Haddon, "Lo strano caso del cane ucciso a mezzanotte"
Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of those unputdownble narratives that keep both the inveterate and the occasional reader glued to the book, in spite of those who curl their lips and raise their eyebrows in front of a novel which is read all in one breath. What catches and affects the stomach is the point of view. The story is told by Christopher, a boy suffering from Asperger’s syndrome, a form of savant autism. Christopher has the intelligence of a computer, he can do very complicated calculations in his mind but he is completely unprepared, naive and defenseless, in front of life. With his few means, highly developed intellect and extremely fragile emotion, he will have to solve a mystery, the incomprehensible killing of Wellington, the neighbour’s dog. He will dive into the investigation with the same rational and analytical spirit of his beloved Sherlock Holmes, but the investigation will take an unexpected turn, it will force him to dig even in his own life, in the relations between his father and his mother, to come to terms with the absence of the maternal figure, to face risks and descend into the metropolitan underworld and then go back to the light of the stars.
