Storie viste dal marciapiede, dal basso di chi nei luoghi sta. Cartoline, brevi lettere, trenta racconti scritti come si fa quando si parte per davvero e si racconta una storia a qualcuno che si ama. Con lo stesso titolo era già uscito un altro racconto di Erri De Luca, alla fine degli anni Novanta. In quell'edizione c'erano le storie dei suoi viaggi nella Bosnia in guerra, nel pieno della Guerra civile jugoslava. In questo altro Pianoterra quelle storie non ci sono quasi più. Resta però identica la prospettiva di chi guarda. Perché questo audiolibro è un "atto di residenza".
