The resistance of women

“Mine has always been a family of fighters.” A book necessary for the collective memory. An isthmus of land, submerged by the ocean of ingratitude, returned visible after too many years, which connects the memory of those who sacrificed their youth, and even their lives, to those who enjoy the fruits of that sacrifice. The role of women during the civil war of 1943-1945 in Italy was soon forgotten, sometimes not even acknowledged, although honoring...

A hundredmillions

“I live like sole, on the seabed. My peers, on land: what can we say to each other?” Teresa is a forty-seven-year-old teacher, stuck in the role of daughter for too long. She lives with her parents in a village never specified, subjected to the limit of perpetual humiliation by her mother Maria, and invisible to the eyes of Alzheimer’s which affects her father Piero. An environment, family and country, which tightens the deadly embrace...

The last white man

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:...

Black is the tree of memories, blue the air

“But mom is still young, still alive despite everything.” This is not a easy book, so don’t approach it thinking you can read it in your spare time. A text that first of all requires a solid basic knowledge of recent Italian history. Without it, one may not be able to put together the constant references to characters and places necessary for the structure of the story, and then again because Loy’s writing always requires...

The disarmed god

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ci sono momenti che non si dimenticano, mai. O almeno per me è così. Meglio: le immagini, i suoni, i rumori; le luci; i neri e i bianchi; il verde del prato; il grigio della pioggia battente; i colori tutti; il cicaleggio delle parole attorno; le persone uscite dalla TV, con le strisce rosse sul fianco delle ambulanze, quando...

Brood

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Come resistere a un romanzo il cui titolo recita “Quattro galline” ? Io non sono riuscito: questa nuova scrittrice americana, Jackie Polzin, alla sua prima opera di parole, è stata davvero capace di catturare la mia attenzione. Lei, la copertina nera con una avvenente gallina di razza Dominicana, un geroglifico nero in campo bianco-crema, cresta e piccolo bargiglio rosso,...

Nine Stories

Written by the bookclub of BooktoMi and Laboratorio Formentini This review is available only in the original language _____________________________________________________________________________ di Rosaria Alba Fontana: Nel racconto autobiografico “Per Esmé: con amore e squallore”, l’autore rivela a Esmè di essere uno scrittore di racconti. La ragazza gli chiede di scrivere una novella esclusivamente per lei e poi aggiunge che le interessano le storie che parlano di squallore. È questa la chiave di lettura dei racconti di Salinger. Descrizioni feroci di...

The jump of the anchovy

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Camminare è perdersi e ritrovarsi, e tutte cose insieme. Farlo con lentezza, un passo e poi un altro, chilometri dopo chilometri, un giorno e poi quello dopo, lasciando che gli occhi vaghino attorno, e con loro i pensieri. Lo sapevo da sempre, ma è la maturità degli anni che si son accumulati sugli anni che me ne han dato piena coscienza....

Klara and the Sun

“A fence can break down in a moment.” First book published by Ishiguro, after the victory of the nobel in 2017, and in a certain sense it is noticeable because it is outside its usual narrative bed. In this regard, we think it is a gift that the writer wanted to give to himself and to those who love his pen, whatever path he wanted to take. Klara is an android (or Artificial Friend), which...
