The Way Home
THE WAY HOME by Paolo Cognetti
"It’s not just about me or my illness, but about how we all confront fragility, loneliness, and the search for balance" Paolo Cognetti

From silence to the screen: the return of Paolo Cognetti (author of The Eight Mountains)

 

Grappling with a sudden bipolar diagnosis and the silencing effects of medication, successful novelist Paolo Cognetti embarks on a journey that unfolds between the Italian Alps, Milan, and the remote peaks of Mustang, Nepal, seeking to rediscover his creative spark and a sense of balance in a world that feels increasingly fragmented.

 

Paolo is guided by three figures: Michele, who sends him to Nepal; Sete, the sherpa who guides him there with quiet Buddhist wisdom; and Francesca, who supports him back in Milan.

 

As part of this search, in his hometown Milan, he meets and engages in dialogue with three Italian writers: Alcide Pierantozzi, Andrea Pomella and Fuani Marino, who, have found ways to live with their struggles without giving up their artistic paths.
