Part one
If Not Later, When?回头不试，更待何时？
“Later!” The word, the voice, the attitude. I’d never heard anyone use “later” to say goodbye before. It sounded harsh, curt, and dismissive, spoken with the veiled indifference of people who may not care to see or hear from you again. It is the first thing I remember about him, and I can hear it still today. Later! I shut my eyes, say the word, and I’m back in Italy, so many years ago, walking down the tree-lined driveway, watching him step out of the cab, billowy blue shirt, wide-open collar, sunglasses, straw hat, skin everywhere. Suddenly he’s shaking my hand, handing me his backpack, removing his suitcase from the trunk of the cab, asking if my father is home. It might have started right there and then: the shirt, the rolled-up sleeves, the rounded balls of his heels slipping in and out of his frayed espadrilles, eager to test the hot gravel path that led to our house, every stride already asking, Which way to the beach? This summer’s houseguest. Another bore.
“回头再说！”那字眼、那声音、那态度。我从未听过任何人用“回头再说”这句话来道别。听起来刺耳、简慢轻蔑，语气中有着隐藏的冷淡，感觉说话的人似乎不情愿再见到你或收到你的音信。这是我关于他的第一个记忆，至今依稀可闻。回头再说！闭上眼睛，说出这句话，我仿佛一下子又回到多年前的意大利：我沿着林荫车道走，看着他走下出租车，身上是件宽松的蓝衬衫，领口大敞，戴着太阳眼镜、草帽，露出大片肌肤；下一刻，他就跟我握手，把背包递给我，从出租车后备厢里拿出手提箱，寒暄着问我父亲是否在家。一切或许始于那个地方、那个瞬间：那件衬衫、卷起的衣袖、浑圆的脚后跟在磨损的布面平底凉鞋里滑进滑出的样子、急着试探通往我们家的那条砾石道热腾腾的温度，迈开的每一步伐仿佛都在问着：“哪条路通往海边？”今年夏天的来客，又一个讨厌鬼。
