Carry Me Like Water

DANTE SA NUOTARE. ARI NO. Dante è colto e sicuro di sé. Ari non conosce abbastanza parole. Dante si perde pensando all'arte e alla poesia. Ari si perde pensando al fratello maggiore in carcere. Tutto farebbe pensare che un ragazzo come Dante, che ha davanti a sé la prospettiva di una vita eccezionale, sia l'ultima persona in grado di rompere il muro che Ari si è costruito attorno. Ma quando si incontrano, Dante e Ari legano subito. Condividono libri, pensieri, sogni, risate. Imparano l'uno dall'altro nuove parole e iniziano a ridisegnare i confini dei loro mondi. Soprattutto, scoprono che l'universo è un posto enorme e difficile. La storia di due ragazzi, Ari e Dante, che devono imparare a credere l'uno nell'altro e nel loro legame, se vogliono diventare adulti. In una narrazione che arriva dritto al cuore, Benjamin Alire Sáenz cattura quei momenti che fanno di un ragazzo un uomo, mentre esplora temi come la lealtà e la fiducia, l'amicizia e l'amore.
