- Summary:
- "One spring morning in 2012, as I waited for a bus to take me to work, I saw a young Gypsy sweeping the street to the tunes of music coming from a mobile phone attached to his waist. He jumped gracefully, the broom in his hands as docile as a woman he was dancing with. In a moment of perfect impersonation, it transformed into a rifle that he aimed at supposed enemies. I became accustomed to seeing the Gypsy, and a silent friendship grew between us, interrupted only by fleeting greetings"--Page 4 of cover [English translation].
