"Solo fui una vez, se hacia en el Parque Forestal, me choco ver a una niñá que yo conocia, no me acuerdo si del colegio o del barrio, vestida de sevillana, a mi nunca me disfrazaron, de hecho no recuerdo nada tipicamente andaluz en mi infancia, a parte de los viajes periodicos a Santaella y aquella unica vez que fuimos a La Alpujarra..." (p. 9)

"Si yo te contara... Mi abuelo, el padre de mi madre, se murio sentao, cavando en la viña, cerca del rio, lo encontraron sentao, y muerto." (p. 13)

Description (in English)

"Chi ha ucciso David Crane?" (2010) is a "possibility" story and it has a single page beginning of the story and a reduced number of end pages. The novel is narrated in the first person by the protagonist, who proposes to the reader from time to time the choices to continue reading of the single story. At the beginning of the story the reader finds himself in a dangerous situation for the protagonist, and immediately he is offered an important choice: continue the current story or remember the previous facts to understand, in a long flashback, the reason why the protagonist he is in that situation. The choice is important from the point of view of the narrative because, in the case you choose to live the current story, it will no longer be possible to go back to reading the flashback (unless you start the novel from the beginning). Vice versa, the choice to read the flashback will allow, at its end, to resume the events "current" and to read the story started on the first page.
