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...

If Cats Disappeared from the World

Books22 September 20234 min

“It had never occurred to me that human actions could have a limit, not even when it was mom’s turn.” We’ve discovered a new book to put on your must-read-before-you-die list. When we bought it we didn’t think that it would enter every single cell of our body, to then make us shine with life. Friendship, love, moral values, guilt, memory pride, regrets, and more, dosed with a delicacy that moves the reader. The protagonist...

The language of Casilda Moreira

by Redazione
Books1 September 20237 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “What if silence one day no longer wants to be silent?”   There is a language that is dying and there are only two people left to keep it alive. But these two people don’t talk to each other. It is difficult to explain the magnetic suggestion of this plot. It contains the fascination of things that are about to disappear, the enigma and the search, the power of connection and also a certain...

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...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Apro a caso, pagina 174: “…una cosa che ha imparato è che innamorarsi disperatamente, perdutamente è in realtà un processo molto selettivo…” L’avevo acquistato appena comparso nel radar degli occhi, circa un anno addietro; un poco per quella sua copertina molto Iris Apfel, occhiali grandi tondi e arancioni, capello corto, maglione a collo alto; un poco per quel titolo...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Torniamo indietro, fino al 1978. Pare un’eternità, e forse lo è per il modo veloce con cui molte delle cose della vita sono poi andate. Molte, ma non tutte, e questi giorni dell’oggi – proprio oggi, 24 febbraio 2022 a maggior ragione –folli, incomprensibili, plasmati della stessa materiale del terrore, ecco, questi giorni mi han obbligato a ripensare alla...

Written by Alessia Colombo This review is available only in the original language. Tipologia: albo illustrato Tematiche principali: rapporto mamma bambino Tecnica delle illustrazioni: china e digitale Età consigliata: 0-5 anni   Una mamma è come una casa che porta dentro di sé il suo bambino.

In the dream house

by Redazione
Books14 January 20228 min

“FRIDAY DI-VERSO” None of these things exist. You have no reason to believe me … the temperature rises, it is completely unpleasant, but the frog has weakened, it no longer has the strength to go out. If it had been thrown into the already boiling water, it would have jumped out with a thrust of the kidneys. Do you know the metaphor of the frog in the hot pot? Chomsky used it to describe the individual...

Written by Alessia Colombo This review is available only in the original language. Tipologia: albo illustrato Tematiche principali: diversità, amicizia, accettazione di sé Tecnica delle illustrazioni: digitale Età consigliata: 6-10 anni   Unicorno è perfetto, ha un bellissimo corno di zaffiro, una criniera arcobaleno e denti bianchissimi. Mentre Cavallo non ha nulla di tutto ciò. Dal sedere di Unicorno escono arcobaleni, da quello di Cavallo invece… no. Unicorno mangia solo dolcetti rosa e fa tutto con MOLTA (troppa)...

Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers

Your Reviews3 January 20225 min

Written by Ludovica Micalizzi This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Per millenni dire donna è equivalso a dire mostro. La femminilità è stata capace di generare nei secoli una paura indomabile, implacabile e spesso incomprensibile. Partendo da tali assunti Jude Ellison Sady Doyle scrive quella che potremmo definire un’opera controcorrente: Il mostruoso femminile. Il testo non può essere definito un romanzo ma ugualmente non rientra nella categoria dei saggi; esso è infatti un’opera di decostruzione sistemica...
