Mattia Filice’s novel marries the railway rhythm and landscape, transmutes the industrial universe of the train, machines and stations into romantic prowess, in a diverted writing, in prose or verse. It is also a social apprenticeship, the discovery of the world of work, and sometimes the meeting of broken lives.
