\nAnna<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nUnder the city covered walkways, used books stands are similar to cathedrals, perfectly drawn buildings. The stacks of yellow paper \u2013 standing more or less orderly \u2013 are the spires of an Art Nouveau palace which is still being created, a Sagrada Familia project that will never be revealed.
\nMy passion for reading goes along with that for those volumes that used to be owned by other people. Not simply for justifiable economic reasons, but also because the stories they keep relate to their past owners. Everytime I find dog-eared pages, for example, I read them greedily, searching for that quote or those words that caught the reader\u2019s attention. Sometimes you\u2019re lucky and you find underlines; in case they\u2019re not there, you have to express intuition and sensibility.\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\nI share these passions with Anna, who has had a book stand here for decades. I\u2019ve never understood how profitable such activity can be, but I can tell you that she does that in a very passionate way, with the same passion she gives us all. I met her in my student days, when I needed cheap texts, and we\u2019re still very close.
\n\u2018Hi Anna, what\u2019s on the menu today?\u2019
\n\u2018Oh, Rebecca! It\u2019s you!\u2019 she says coming out of some towers of books she tries to organize unsuccessfully. \u2018Why are you not in class?\u2019
\n\u2018It\u2019s my day off, dear, sometimes we deserve it as teachers too! What can I buy today?\u2019
\n\u2018La moustache<\/em> by Emmanuel Carr\u00e8re, my dear, no doubt! An investigation of the human soul that\u2026\u2019
\n\u2018Anna, it\u2019s the novel you sold me when we first met, I read it ten years ago!\u2019 I say, laughing about years passing with kindness and grace.
\n\u2018Sorry, I\u2019m so distracted. What about this Sartre? It has just arrived\u2019
\n\u2018I am team de Beauvoir, sorry. You should know that!\u2019
\n\u2018Ugh, it\u2019s getting worse\u2026anyway: take a look at this!\u2019 she says as she takes out a red book. It\u2019s a volume I\u2019ve never seen before, with an inlaid flower cover, only apparently ordinary. It\u2019s not a used one, it\u2019s brand new.\n\n<\/p>\n

\nMy fingers run through the pages, the text is soaked, full of words. A novel about a female bookseller, about a shop that has served the city center for many years. It\u2019s about time passing by and online book commerce, it\u2019s about business that gives up to create some space for something new.
\nI don\u2019t know how I can realize all this in few seconds, the impression is that I\u2019ve known this story for a long time. There is a bookmark, a balsa wood stick with the face of a polar bears coming out. It is placed among the pages, very close to a written in italics. An inscription.\n\n<\/p>\n

\nTo Rebecca,
\nto all the readers
\nboth female and male
\nfor whom it\u2019s worth choosing the right words
\nevery day.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n

\nA tear falls down my face, lit by the sun.
\nMy heart is exploding, I search for her in the crowd, I call her.
\n\u2018Anna, why didn\u2019t you tell me that you wrote a novel? Where are you?\u2019
\nThe stand is empty, the wind blows through piles of paper smelling different stories.
\nAnna is not here. I ask about her to all the other booksellers, they say she didn\u2019t show up this morning.
\nMy arms hold a rare book, its cover is made of inlaid flowers, it was published many years ago.
\nI leave ten Euros on the desk, blocked under a rare edition.
\nAs I go back to my bicycle, I wonder if Anna ever existed, if she ever sold me the books that shaped my education, if the many literary discussions we had through the years were actually monologues.
\nMy heart is exploding, the sky is the perfect vision of blue in winter.
\nAnna, I\u2019m sure of it, is opening a bookstore somewhere in the world.\n<\/p>\n\n
