The high command of the Army of the Potomac was a changeable, often dysfunctional band of brothers, going through the fires of war under seven commanding generals in three years, until Grant came east in 1864. The men in charge all too frequently appeared to be fighting against the administration in Washington instead of for it, increasingly cast as political pawns facing down a vindictive congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War.

"Sapere o ignorare sono forme simmetriche di salvezza." È in questo dittico contraddittorio e duellante l'innesco del racconto di Lorenzo Tosa. E l'inchiesta privata e corale su Bruno, suo padre, morto suicida il 2 aprile 1986, non può che partire dall'ultimo giorno e dalle ultime ore trascorse insieme. Lorenzo aveva solo due anni e mezzo, non può ricordarle ma può ricostruirle e in parte immaginarle, e da lì avviarsi nel lungo e tortuoso viaggio per ricomporre i pezzi di una storia finora taciuta, in un'operazione di omissione concordata messa in atto dalla sua famiglia.

Written at the dawn of the twentieth century, the author has remarkably captured his adventures and observations as a child growing up on the prairies of Illinois in the years leading up the Civil War, in a region that was neither North nor South; neither for slavery nor against it; and how their small family farm became an unscheduled stop on the Underground Railroad.

Als Nikita Miller als Fünfjähriger mit seinen Eltern aus der Ukraine nach Deutschland kam, musste er über die Jahre feststellen: Ein Mensch kann vielleicht die Sowjetunion verlassen, die Sowjetunion aber niemals den Menschen. Er hat das Beste aus Deutsch und Sowjet zusammengemixt und gelernt, beide Kulturen mit all ihrer Schönheit und Vielfalt, mit all ihrer Marotten und Unannehmlichkeiten, zu lieben und wertzuschätzen. Denn wir müssen uns alle doch mal eingestehen: Die Kulturen sind gar nicht so unterschiedlich. Pelmeni sind doch auch nur kleine Maultaschen.
