Worthy need of comfort

Doc's pills20 April 20238 min

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...

“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 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...

The simple soul. Sister Joanna of the Cross

by Redazione
Books10 February 20234 min

“She tried not to live in the world, but she was in the world.” Let’s go back in time, in Naples two centuries ago, and we find ourselves living the story of Sister Giovanna della Croce, in one of the most inauspicious periods of her life. Cloistered nun of the order of the thirty-three (or with the equally explanatory name of the “buried alive”), together with her sisters she is forced to leave the monastery...

Permafrost

Books3 February 20237 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “My life is a predictable accident, rapist. It does not ontologically define my existence but occupies it like a handful of soldiers”. On January 25, the last piece of Eva Baltasar’s triptych was released for Nottetempo, a triad that began in 2019 with “Permafrost” and continued with “Boulder” in 2021 (Italian release dates). The frost, the boulder, the immense animal. Go retro, candid souls. So in short, before holding our breath and throwing ourselves...

Macno

Books27 January 20234 min

“The issue is that he doesn’t resign himself to slowness.” Novel to read up to twenty years old, after it could disappoint. We say this knowingly because we read the book as teenagers, and are picking it up again today. Of all that we had enjoyed as youths, only a faded stain remained on the pages. The classic feeling you get when you re-read De Carlo’s books, capable of telling utopian dreams, the will to...
