"Quel que fût le point qui pût retenir M. de Charlus et le giletier, leur accord semblait conclu et ces inutiles regards n'être que des préludes rituels, pareils aux fêtes qu'on donne avant un mariage décidé. Plus près de la nature encore - et la multiplicité de ces comparaisons est elle-même d'autant plus naturelle qu'un même homme, si on l'examine pendant quelques minutes, semble successivement un homme, un homme-oiseau ou un homme-insecte, etc. - on eût dit deux oiseaux, le mâle et la femelle, le mâle cherchant a s'avancer, la femelle - Jupien - ne répondant plus par aucun signe a ce manège, mais regardant son nouvel ami sans étonnement, avec une fixité inattentive, jugée sans doute plus troublante et seule utile, du moment que le mâle avait fait les premiers pas, et se contentant de lisser ses plumes".

Se proprio dovessi, sceglierei la Tasmania. Ha buone riserve di acqua dolce, si trova in uno stato democratico e non ospita predatori per l''uomo. Non e troppo piccola ma e comunque un''isola, quindi facile da difendere. Perche ci sara da difendersi, mi creda.Tasmania e un romanzo sul futuro. Il futuro che temiamo e desideriamo, quello che non avremo, che possiamo cambiare, che stiamo costruendo. La paura e la sorpresa di perdere il controllo sono il sentimento del nostro tempo, e la voce calda di Paolo Giordano sa raccontarlo come nessun''altra. Ci ritroviamo tutti in questo romanzo sensibilissimo, vivo, contemporaneo. Perche ognuno cerca la sua Tasmania: un luogo in cui, semplicemente, sia possibile salvarsi.Ci sono momenti in cui tutto cambia. Succede una cosa, scatta un clic, e il fiume in cui siamo immersi da sempre prende a scorrere in unaltra direzione. La chiamiamo crisi. Il protagonista di questo romanzo e un giovane uomo attento e vibratile, pensava che la scienza gli avrebbe fornito tutte le risposte ma si ritrova davanti un muro di domande. Con lui ci sono Lorenza che sa aspettare, Novelli che studia la forma delle nuvole, Karol che ha trovato Dio dove non lo stava cercando, Curzia che smania, Giulio che non sa come parlare a suo figlio. La crisi di cui racconta questo romanzo non e solo quella di una coppia, forse e quella di una generazione, sicuramente la crisi del mondo che conosciamo e del nostro pianeta. La magia di Tasmania, la forza con cui ci chiama a ogni pagina, e la rifrazione naturale fra cio che accade fuori e dentro di noi. Cosi persino il fantasma della bomba atomica, che il protagonista studia e ricostruisce, diventa un esorcismo: lapocalisse e in questo nostro dibattersi, e nei movimenti incontrollabili del cuore. Raccogliendo il testimone dei grandi scrittori scienziati del Novecento italiano, Paolo Giordano si spinge nei territori piu interessanti del romanzo europeo di questi anni, per approdare con felicita e leggerezza in un luogo tutto suo, dove poter giocare con i nascondimenti e la rivelazione di se, scendere a patti con i propri demoni e attraversare la paura.
