We had just left the cinema, hopped on the bike, Anna was driving, I was sitting on the back, Alonza fan playing, America, America, she replied, and we sped off on the asphalt, doing eights, no, eight and a halfs, laughing like crazy, Night and Adventure, where are we going? To live our lives, and we arrived at "Nouvelle Poste". We entered, I looked around anxiously in case Rocco and his brothers were there, they weren't, only crazy-Piero was sitting at the bar.

Stergios and Anna, two characters, always with the same name and yet different every time, experience the multiple versions of reality, real or invented, in the twenty-one stories of the book titled "Eight and a Halfs". Starting from the rough language of their ancestors' land, they pass through the whirlwind of youth, mature in harsh reality, and end up in the unfamiliar solitude of grief and loss.

How many lives will the two heroes live? And are they always the same protagonists in the twenty-one stories?
