We have all a double citizenship

From an article by Valerio Magrelli on Repubblica.it

“There is a very beautiful passage by Susan Sontag that reads: everyone who is born has a double citizenship, in the realm of the good and in the realm of the bad. We would prefer to use only the good passport, but sooner or later everyone is forced at least for a period to recognize himself as a citizen of that other country. And so, despite ourselves, we find ourselves like this. Novalis writes: every disease is a musical problem. Every cure is a musical solution. For me it is an almost incomprehensible oracle, but I find it so poetic that I have included it in my book, Geology of a Father”.
