Che differenza c'è tra ascoltare 45 ballate country, e leggere un libro che ne racconta in prosa la trama? Se l'autore è Willy Vlautin, verrebbe da dire, forse solo la modalità di ascolto. Eppure il risultato materializzato in questo "Verso nord" non è un concept album né tantomeno una croonerata baggiana sulle note lancinanti di una pedal steel, ma piuttosto un romanzo nella più autentica (e grande) tradizione americana.

È noto che il mondo sta cambiando. Molto, quasi tutto ci porta a prevedere la fine della vita per come ora la conosciamo sulla Terra. La catastrofe (dal greco katastrophé, ‘rovesciamento’) che il genere umano sperimenta e sperimenterà non è però la prima: tutto quel che conosciamo è nato da una catastrofe, si è andato modificando e assestando attraverso catastrofi, e con una catastrofe andrà a terminare – o a proseguire, ma in modo radicalmente diverso.

Quindi le cose eroiche bisognava farle prima. Prima che quell’incrostazione di attaccamento alla vita ti si appiccicasse addosso. Prima di avere delle responsabilità, o qualcuno da perdere. Ma prima o poi, lo sapeva, sarebbe tornata a galla e quei pensieri non sarebbero più stati suoi. Quel liquido nero si sarebbe ritirato lasciandola nuda nella sua mente. Una ragazzina. Senza madre e con un marchio sulla mano. Allegria.

My life is in ruins. Failed marriage, failed career—I'm a failure. My husband may have had a hand in it, but I can't help missing him. We made an agreement. I signed the contract, and so did he. Without our arrangement, everything falls apart. So we'll keep losing ourselves in each other's bodies. We'll keep pretending everything is fine. But maybe I'm getting sick of pretend. Maybe I want to find something real. And just maybe, Luka does too.

Everything people think they know about the Zoric family is a sham. Even me. I thought I was trying out to be their newest model. Luka was auditioning wives. I just need the career boost. He needs good PR to salvage his playboy image. It's a win-win—on paper. But since when has real life been simple? His jealousy makes me crazy. The control he maintains over my body is unacceptable. I really shouldn't be so turned on by it.

If only I'd never signed that contract. Or accepted the one I didn't. My husband doesn't trust me. Not that I can blame him. But he needs me, needs my image. I need his connections. And I have to find a way to convince him to set aside our differences. There's one way that always works. Even when we hate each other, our bodies betray us. The one place we've never disagreed is in bed.
