As in his widely praised Fists, Pietro Grossi¿s The Break brings out the epic human drama in a tale of everyday life in lucid, stripped-down prose. Dino is a placid, unambitious man. Living in a small provincial town, he and his wife spend their time planning journeys to faraway places - journeys they never take. Dino¿s only passion is billiards, and he spends his evenings in the local billiards hall honing his technique. One day, however, Dino¿s quiet life is interrupted - his wife falls pregnant. This the first in a series of events that shake him from his slumber and force Dino to test himself for the first time.
