“The competing boy on the net’s other side: he is not the foe: he is more the partner of the dance. He is the what is the word “excuse”or “occasion” for meeting the self. As you are his occasion. Tennis’s beauty’s infinite roots are self-competitive. You compete with your own limits to transcend the self in imagination and execution. Disappear inside the game: break through limits: trascend: improve: win. Which is why tennis is an essentially tragic enterprise, to improve and grow as a serious junior, with ambitions. You seek to vanquish and trascend the limited self whose limits make the game possible in the first place. It is tragic and sad and chaotic and lovely. All life is the same, as citizens of the human State: the animating limits are within, to be killed and mourned, over and over again. ” David Foster Wallace,” Infinite Jest”, 1996. Le parole dello scrittore americano, seppur ovviamente non scritte per esserlo, appaiono come una perfetta recensione per quest’altro capolavoro: sostituite il net con la riva del mare, l’avversario con l’onda e avrete una perfetta recensione di questo libro di Suzy Lee, ormai un classico, nel quale una bambina, come davanti a uno specchio, si rapporta con le onde del mare che si infrangono sulla riva. Curiosità, sgomento, frustrazione, rabbia, dolcezza si alternano in questa “danza” esploratrice dell’animo umano. Un silent book da ammirare infinite volte.
