La fila indiana was born as a collection of short stories. Short stories written in a hurry – as Ascanio Celestini observes – after the burning of a nomad camp, after the shipwreck of a boat of emigrants fleeing or after the crazy and calculated declaration of some politician. Around these fragments the author has sewn a series of old and new stories to which others have been added over the years until it has become a complete, compelling and moving show.
