Worthy need of comfort

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ “La mia vita non è qualcosa che si debba misurare”. Difficilmente avrei potuto trovare incipit più concreto e dicotomico per la Pillola del DOC di oggi. È lì, nelle poche densissime pagine de Il nostro bisogno di consolazione, apparso nel 1952 grazie alla penna anarcoide e disperata di Stig Dagerman, pubblicato da Iperborea con la traduzione di Fulvio Ferrari....

No Longer Human

by Redazione
Books14 April 20234 min

“I am convinced that human life is filled with pure, happy, serene specimens of insincerity.” The plot of the book in a few lines: non-enthralling story of a Japanese artist, Yozo, with the syndrome of feeling rejected by society. To gain acceptance and be the center of attention he devises empty antics, which over the years have less and less hold on those around him. Nothing relevant would be said, a story like many others...

Fear

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ha quasi centodue anni, più di un secolo. Così recita l’ultima riga, in calce: 15 agosto 1921. Ieri, praticamente. È piccolo di formato, e breve per numero di pagine. È denso, compatto, è serrato come solo l’espressione del disagio e della paura possono essere. E proprio così si intitola: La paura. È un romanzo scritto da Federico De Roberto, pubblicato...

Giovanni’s room

“People are full of surprises, even for themselves, if they are provoked enough.” We thank one of our reading groups who first introduced us to the author and then to the book. The beauty of reading is right here, in the sharing of interests and continuous discovery. Our great miss having never read anything by James Baldwin before. Intense and delicate like few other authors, with a writing born to remain over time and inside...

“Maybe, I thought, it’s not the first love that counts, but the last, the one that accompanies a man to death, that helps him to die.” Piero Chiara’s most complete book, written on the writer’s usual and solid narrative structure, with a strong autobiographical component. The places in which the story is set are those of the province, between Trieste, Udine and the lands across the border in Slovenia that belonged to Italy until the...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Trovo meravigliosa la diversità, l’eterogeneità, la differenza, la dissomiglianza, la molteplicità, la varietà. E quest’ultima poi mi piace davvero molto, perché i suoi sinonimi sono molteplicità, assortimento, ricchezza, scelta. Varietà e diversità di colore: giallo, rosso, verde, marrone, nero, rosa, rosa antico, rosa pallido, rosa perlato, grigio, arcobaleno. Differenza e molteplicità di idee, pensieri, opinioni, credo. Dissomiglianze di aspetto:...

The black wire

by Redazione
Books10 March 20234 min

“There is no Italian who manages to completely escape the mistletoe of opportunism.” Book son of the time in which it was written (1995), and of a different, higher, morality and political conscience of the Italian intelligentsia. Reading it today, one greatly appreciates the analysis of the past, and the one that is in some parts incorrect on the future, but not due to the demerit of the author, but rather to the demerit of...

Little world

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “From my house to his house we are separated by 574 km. Too many”. A little advice. A small book. A small voice: that of Tiromancino, soundtrack for hearts in transit. Browsing through these microscopic journeys leaves a bit of the feeling of when we hear Stitch say, “This is my family. I found it on my own. It’s small and broken, but beautiful.” Why write a book to tell about emotional places? Why...
