The lying life of adults

Written by Ludovica Micalizzi This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ La presa di coscienza che il tranquillo mondo nel quale siamo sempre vissuti è solo una grande menzogna è, probabilmente, la frase che meglio sintetizza la trama de La vita bugiarda degli adulti romanzo di Elena Ferrante, autrice nota al grande pubblico per la quadrilogia L’amica geniale. La protagonista è Giovanna, un’adolescente degli anni Novanta, unica figlia di una coppia di...

Blood of Judas

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Son solo pochi giorni che è morto il signor Carlo Vichi, quello dei televisori MIVAR, fatti di bulloni, transistor e fatica soltanto italiani. Aveva 98 anni. Ora, chi non ha mai avuto un MIVAR in casa, o almeno la sua famiglia? Io ne ho avuto uno grigio perla, un bel rettangolo davanti e la coda dietro che pareva un...

In praise of the bar

“I hate boredom, and the idea of a candy pink world scares me more than spending a night on the train with a killer.” Small book, which can be read in an hour, but not for this reason of little value. A stage of clear approach to those who want to know the inner world of Goliarda Speranza, the nuances of her character and her thoughts on the world. After all, isn’t her name already...

Tomorrow we will have other names

THE FIRST REVIEW OF THE MONTH WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE NEW VOICE: “MONDAY DI-VERSO” “There was a moment when they both hesitated, then they hesitate no more.” Edgar Lee Masters said: “When the beloved withdraws from your soul, then you have lost yours.” Which is true and it’s not, but it takes forever to learn. He and She. The nameless protagonists of a unique story equal to millions of others, the story of two...

Nuovissimo testamento

“The authority that pretends to educate people but in reality governs with paternalism has the open road.” What would it be like to live in a nation where it has been scientifically decided to eliminate empathy because it is considered a disturbing element of democracy? Can the elimination of free thinking to ensure a smooth functioning of the political-bureaucratic machine of a country be considered the right price to pay? We thus entered the story...

Adoration

“Everyone is always someone else’s district, also Latina was a district.” Adoration is a novel in which the lives of adolescents intertwine, divided between the tragic death of their young friend Elena, constantly evoked, and a summer like many others, divided between the blossoming of bitter loves and new self-discoveries. The writing tends to have a story with an interesting core, more current and realistic than ever, but with a development, in our opinion, confused...
