br. Ci sono scritture che corrono al margine dell'esistenza, e ne costituiscono l'essenza. Scritture cosparse di scorie di vita che brucia. Scritture che del dolore del vivere colgono la fiamma abbagliante. E bruciano chi legge. Di questo genere è la scrittura di Katherine Mansfield. Ribelle, pellegrina, trasformista senza radici se non quelle che affondano nella scrittura, KM, come si firma la nostra 'stella'- con l'accelerazione di chi non ha neppure il tempo di compitare per intero il suo nome -, sprigiona la luce di una realtà esotica, magica, che questo romanzo ricrea, grazie a un gioco di scatole cinesi che i due protagonisti, un fratello e una sorella affascinati dalla scrittrice neozelandese, aprono a una a una guidandoci a un incontro profondo con la sua immaginazione. Come sempre nelle scritture dell'anima, il viaggio è verso l'origine, che è immancabilmente anche l'inizio di tutto. Perché l'anima è un demone legato al luogo di nascita, e lì KM torna scrivendo. E se il prezzo del suo viaggio à rebours è, alla lettera, una iniziazione alla sua propria morte e rinascita nella scrittura, chi legga l'ispirato dialogo delle due voci di questo romanzo comprenderà come ogni volta chi legge davvero entra con il proprio autore, o autrice, in un colloquio autentico, in una relazione creativa che riporta alla vita chi l'ha pronunciata. Sì che potremmo dire che, se scrivere è inoltrarsi nel mistero alchemico di un'opera al nero, leggere lo è altrettanto.
