My Shadow Is Yours by Edoardo Nesi

My Shadow Is Yours by Edoardo Nesi

Recent college gradaute Emiliano accompanies a 60 something writer, Vittorio, to a Milan fair where he will give a talk, breaking a 20 year long silence.

I have no house, only a shadow. But whenever you are in need of a shadow, my shadow is yours.

This is a story, a love story, started forty years ago and never ended. And it is also the story of a trip to Italy in 2019, epic and comical, inebriated and amazed, very foolish, undertaken in a 1979 Jeep without a roof or doors or windshield by Emiliano De Vito, a just graduated summa cum laude in classical studies, and Vittorio Vezzosi, the writer of a single book, published in 1995 to worldwide acclaim, who has since shut himself up in a farmhouse above Florence without writing another word.

While these two misfits of different generations are quarreling on their trip to Milan, they soon come to complement and understand one another in their differences.
