The Way Through the Woods

by Redazione
Books9 February 20246 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “The footprint of a life is everywhere.”   A Malaysian anthropologist, transplanted to Norway, manages to overcome her husband’s sudden bereavement thanks to an unexpected encounter with the world of mushrooms. It seems that the community of readers really liked this book: it praises its delicacy and the unusual but refined way in which two apparently very distant themes, mourning and mycology, were brought together. We’re a bit perplexed. The book flows, as they...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Credo che un libro così dovremmo leggerlo un poco tutti. O meglio: tutti attraversiamo almeno un momento tanto particolare nel corso delle nostre esistenze da rendere utile, fin necessaria, la lettura di un romanzo come Naif.Super. Naif.Super esce per la penna di Erlend Loe, scrittore norvegese classe 1969, nel 1996; io l’ho lasciato sullo scaffale delle librerie più volte, non avendone...

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....

Fish have no feet

by Redazione
Books9 December 20227 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Time treats us strangely – most often unexpected”. Have you ever read a book that is a blizzard? Let’s try talk about this blizzard done of pages and ink. “Story of a family”, the subtitle. And as the wise man said, every happy family and so on. This family has its roots in the water, if the fish have no legs it is because the immensity of the sea does not allow for the surface,...

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,...

And the Birds Rained Down by

Books2 August 20217 min

THE FIRST REVIEW OF THE MONTH WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE NEW VOICE: “MONDAY DI-VERSO” “Happiness simply needs to be indulged.” How is it that these old men in books always cut off our legs? What is this tenderness that hits low when it seemed to us that we were immovable and disenchanted? “And the Birds Rained Down by” is a 2011 novel (anticipating by a few years “Our souls at night” by K. Haruf,...
