I've rarely meet in person the author of a book I read. And even more rarely I happened to receive directly from his hands his manuscript. There is always a first time for everything. "Like a tightrope walker, balance in ten years on cancer" is the book that you would like to speak. The author, Giorgio Biasini, I had the honor to meet you in person Saturday. It 'was a special meeting, intense and very enjoyable. It seemed as if time had stopped, there diavani between the Swedish and the smell of tea, among the Christmas lights and a makeshift table, between the laughter, smiles and a hint of embarrassment.
His book is the story of his struggle, his fight against cells gone mad, his courage, his family, his passions, his fears. As I read, I feel poised on the edge of the pages. I look upon a world unknown to me until yesterday. I imagine faces, people and places. It seems to me to browse a huge album of memories, sometimes very close. Walk on tiptoe through 10 years, lived with great strength and determination.
His writing is fluid, determined and moving. There are 200 pages full of hope and will to live. There is pain. There is joy. There is an army of emotion ready to defeat evil. There is above all the strength of a woman who beat cancer and has regained his life.
