The shelf of last breaths

by Redazione
Books17 January 20256 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Then I burst into tears. Then one always bursts into tears, I thought.” Telling life by talking about death: this is what Aglaja Veteranyi does for one hundred and twenty-nine poignant, poetic pages. The life of circus performers has always had a contradictory charm that combines the freedom of wandering with the lability of relationships; a life made of magic tricks and escapes, amazements and disappearances. Different rules, a twirling in space and time...

The End of Eddy

by Redazione
Books6 December 20249 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Today I’m going to be tough (and I’m crying while writing these lines).”   Wandering through the shelves of bookstores these days you will find the latest reprint of the literary debut of Édouard Louis. A student of Didier Eribon, to whom the work is dedicated, he follows in his footsteps with the impulsive unscrupulousness that comes from being a few years younger than his master. Being able to do so, we read this...

Agnes goes to die

by Redazione
Books26 April 20245 min

“In front of the fascist house he cleared his throat, picked up the saliva in his mouth and spat on the ground.” Italy post armistice of September 8th, brothers against brothers, native homeland, a land of contention by foreign feet, and raped by innocent deaths. The action takes place entirely in the Comacchio Valleys, where History – with a capital H – during the Second World War collides and overwhelms the history – with a...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ È probabile che uno qualunque tra noi uomini, noi maschi, soprattutto prossimi ai cinquant’anni, e con ancor maggiore verosimiglianza dopo i sessanta, abbia sentito parlare della prostata. Della propria o dell’altrui: sì, dottore, “ho la prostata”, come il mio amico Mario. Queste le fatidiche parole. Prostata, che non è organo che si veda, quindi bisogna essere capaci di immaginarselo....

Little world

by Redazione
Books3 March 20236 min

“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...

Compartment No. 6

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Scompartimento N. 6 è capace di evocare molte suggestioni, e molto diverse tra loro. Rosa Liksom, acclamata autrice finlandese, ha scritto ormai alcuni anni addietro questo romanzo denso che pare melassa, ma al tempo di una leggerezza disarmante, violento e tenerissimo insieme, un romanzo degli opposti stati d’animo, che mi ha incuriosito già per la deliziosa prima di copertina,...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Perché leggere della Prima Grande Guerra nel 2021? Perché è utile. Perché è profondamente necessario. Perché rischiamo di dimenticarcene, assorbiti dal nostro nuovo tempo e dalla buriana dell’accadere del passato prossimo, prossimissimo oserei dire, e del futuro di domani, perché già il dopodomani è troppo in là per pensarci con adeguata cognizione di causa. Perché siamo stati quelli che...
