The writer, who had been affected by chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, communicated via social media that he had been operated on at the San Raffaele in Milan: “It’s been a tough 41 days, but now my conditions are good”
« I soooo. You don’t use social networks like this, but you have to be patient with me, lately I’ve had complicated times. I have news again to give. Two days ago I was discharged from the San Raffaele hospital in Milan where I underwent a second marrow transplant in Prof. Ciceri’s ward (the disease had come back, I had to do it). The doctors (Dr. Peccatori’s team, all serenely excellent) say that it went well and that my conditions are good».
Thus, on the morning of Tuesday 16 August, the writer Alessandro Baricco recounted a new chapter of his illness via social networks to the many readers and fans who, in a very short time, responded with hundreds of affectionate posts and best wishes for a good recovery.
“What I know – continues Baricco’s post – is that it’s been a tough 41 days, but now everything is fantastic. I also made it because my partner Gloria is an incredible woman, my family is made up of very tough people and my friends have never left me alone. Oh, how I thank you all. Now I get back on my feet looking at the centuries-old trees which, as Coccia and Mancuso taught me, know how to live better than us. My agenda says that I will be back in public on October 29, 2023 at the Teatro alla Scala where I will be the narrator in a concert by the legendary Labèque sisters (what a joy, my friends). In the meantime, everything will amaze me. A big hug. AB».
After his recovery, the following months had been filled with plans. Among them, a new novel, a «metaphysical western» announced at the Turin Book Fair 2023 and which will come out of Feltrinelli, and the theatrical show «Tucidide. Atene contro Melo», which was staged for the first time on 29 June at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto.
