As in the dictionary by Alfred Sant... Birth... Childhood... Love... School... Work... Betrayal... Journeys... Death... Everything we experience in our lives, long or short : As in the dictionary, we are presented with the story of Angel Debono's life, as he lived it according to his desires... with its sweet and bitter... with the happiness and vitality with which he lived... We live with him for nearly fifty years, from what happened in Malta until today. We don't do it by the clock. We do so as each episode of his life is placed before us according to the word that memory still conjures up. A novel that you can start and continue reading from any place you want, from the beginning, middle, or end, and end it as you want, exactly as it is in the dictionary.
