Fuori di Sé by Sasha Marianna Salzmann is a strong book published by Marsilio Editore about identity, racist, anti-semitism, and war. Moscow: Alissa and Anton live in a little apartment before to going away from the Russian capital because of the anti-semitic air breathed that years. Direction Germany, the two won't have a great life in Berlin as well treated pretty bad by their own schoolmates. Anton at some point will disappear and the only trace
left behind by the brother is this postcard from Istanbul.
From there the brother will try all his best for searching for his brother, living a lot of love-stories, discovering in this way his homosexuality, but also seeing a lot of violence; all of this in the big scenery of the XX century.
Beauty, strong, another book you can't lose by Marsilio.
Highly recommended.
