English It took me about a month of diligent work to organize, revise, correct, and make consistent what I had written over two years. I often pondered whether to revise some idiomatic expressions of the language I use, which even today, when I speak and write, has dialectal influences in the words used, the structure of sentences, and the rhythm of certain expressions. And I concluded that it would be better to keep them as they are, without changing or replacing them. These expressions, I told myself, represent the way I see things, as much as my memories, ideas, plans, and personality. If an exact genetic copy of me had been born in Sicily, let alone Siberia, I certainly would not have the ideas I have now, nor would the way I present them be the way I use them today. Had I been born and raised in those lands, I would have been liked by people other than those I have met in my life, and I would have been rejected by people other than those who have said no to me in the life I lived. In my subconscious, there would have been other dreams, other attractions, and other desires that would have met fertile ground.
