Mr. Gwin: Alessandro Barikko

The title character of the novel by Alessandro Barikko “Mr. Gvin” is a writer, and a very successful one. Readers adore it and praise critics; Books that have come out from under his pen are immediately sold out. But then one day, after a long walk around the rigent park, he makes a decision: never to write novels again. “And then what will you do?” – his literary agent is perplexed. “Write portraits of people. But not as artists do.” Gwin intends to write portraits in words, because “each person is not a character, but a special story, and she deserves to be recorded.” Of course, for such an unusual lesson, a special atmosphere, special light, special music, and most importantly, the model should pose without clothes. Undoubtedly, Barikko and his Alter Ego of Mr. Gwin had a strange, moreover, a silent idea. Following its development is insanely interesting. The reader can only understand whether she is crazy enough to be true
