Octavio’s wonderful journey

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “No more bones, no more muscles, no more veins: inside himself Octavio had autumn.”   There are three pages, almost at the beginning of the book, three pages that introduce us to Octavio: it is practically impossible not to want to reread them at least twice. It is the painting of a destiny, nuanced and prophetic, like those paintings that the more you look at them the more hallucinatory details appear, faces hidden in...

Snow in Autumn

“Times have changed and so have men.” Ancient text, first published in France in 1931, of atmospheres and settings now uninhabited for almost a hundred years of dust and cobwebs. The protagonist of the long story is the elderly nurse Tatjana Ivanovna, completely devoted to the Karin family, where she has seen entire generations of boys grow up who quickly became men. Almost as an elderly member of the family, in fact, she will accompany...

School diary

“Our ‘doing poorly’ students never come to school alone. An onion enters the classroom.” A lucid and honest analysis of the world of school. A smooth read, which won’t bore anyone: you can bet on it, readers, trust me. The book is divided into small chapters, as the title suggests, like small scenes of various situations, people, emotions encountered at school. An institution as ancient as it has been mistreated in recent years, and this...

Destroy, she said

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “There is something about this hotel that disturbs me and holds me back. I do not understand well. I don’t try to understand better.”   We don’t understand well. Let’s not try to understand better – what keeps us in this book. And yet: we are there, even if upset. Like in a dream, we don’t know how we got here, perhaps a quote, an epiphany, an involuntary movement of the soul and here...

L’Ablation

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....

The years

“The only real happiness is the one you realize as you live it.” If your idea is to open a book with a classic plot and a subdivision of longer or shorter chapters, this book is not for you. If, on the other hand, you intend to dive into a new sphere of inner awareness, then take a deep breath of oxygen, and immerse yourself in reading. A gallery of memories and observations on the...

To adapt

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ho letto Adattarsi, romanzo di Clara Dupont-Monod, pubblicato da Edizioni Clichy nella traduzione di Tommaso Gurrieri. Come lo abbia incrociato? Forse per quello strano fiore rosso in copertina? In realtà non lo so proprio, a testimonianza di come spesse volte le cose del vivere accadano in quell’esatto mentre in cui siamo intensamente indaffarati a far altro e un’immagine un...

Forbidden games

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ È spietato. È feroce. È di una disarmante tenerezza, senza essere favola, senza essere fiaba. È tanto originale. Soprattutto è di una modernità che pare fantascienza. Perché GIOCHI PROIBITI venne scritto nel 1947, la seconda grande guerra era terminata da poco, la gente si leccava ancora le ferite, aveva gran voglia di vivere, e prendeva coscienza piena dell’orrore. Oggi siamo ancora...

Lolita

The books chosen by Federica Dagonese This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Iniziamo dall’inizio, ché è uno degli incipit più ammalianti mai letti da me e certamente, scusate ma è così, tra i più belli di tutta la letteratura mondiale. Mi permetto di riportarlo qui, perché ne vale davvero la pena; sentite come suona– in tutti i sensi- sentite la musica di queste parole e del concetto, tanto delicato, dietro di...
