A slender, realistic story of a young man's coming of age, Very Far Away from Anywhere Else is one of the most inspiring novels Ursula K. Le Guin ever published.

Owen is seventeen and smart. He knows what he wants to do with his life. But then he meets Natalie and he realizes he doesn't know anything much at all.

“Like all Le Guin’s work, Very Far Away from Anywhere Else is about the invisible structures of society and about the challenge to live honestly. On a Sunday years ago I was lucky to encounter a book that could show me the breadth our lives have—that the discovery of what leads us on is better than the goal of perfection.” —Emily Schultz, «Bustle»

“An engaging, well written novel.” —«New York Times»

Recensioni

cretinodicrescenzago ha recensito Very Far Away from Anywhere Else di Ursula K. Le Guin

"Storia diversa per gente normale, storia comune per gente speciale"

4,0 stars

Un piccolo spaccato sociale degli USA degli anni Settanta. Due adolescenti estremamente intelligenti e con difficoltà sociali (neurodiversi, forse?). Una storia su come essere "normali" quando si è "eccentrici". Un finale agrodolce che non ti aspetti da un racconto di formazione. Nel complesso un Bildungsroman sui generis, che racconta la vita vera con tutti i suoi intoppi e non i buoni sentimenti.
