Verso

Verso is an independent bookshop with bar founded and inaugurated in 2015 in Milan, in the heart of the city, in the so called Ticinese area, next to the Columns of San Lorenzo. With two floors and 12,000 titles, it immediately became a new meeting point for lovers of books and culture.

The cutting of the forest

“Another empty day unfolded before him.” Go to the bookstore, look for this book and read it. In case your reference bookstore does not have it, book it and await its arrival. We write it directly, without the possibility of misunderstanding, because this book causes physical pleasure to reading, both for the story told and for the writing. A caress for lovers of the Italian language, which should be read at school to make the...

Mourning

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Sbaam! Una porta in faccia. Un pugno alla bocca dello stomaco, violento. Un calcio negli stinchi. Una goccia che ci cade nel centro esatto della testa, cade e cade ancora, pervicace, prepotente. E tutti questi sentire insieme. Questo è stato incontrare le pagine di Lutto dello scrittore argentino Edgardo Scott, ricevuto in dono sotto l’albero dell’ultimo Natale, con alcuni altri libri, ma...

Uncanny Valley

Written by Elena Danioni This review is available only in the original language _______________________________ Ciascuno di noi possiede uno o più devices informatici che per la loro accessibilità e trasportabilità accompagnano costantemente le nostre vite. La nostre privacy è crollata di fronte alla potenza informatica.

Margherita Dolcevita

“Only dead fish go with the current.” Sweet, attentive, unscrupulous, acute. A text that is read with pleasure and that makes you happy in reading. In the same way the protagonist (and how could she not be otherwise?), Margherita Dolcevita has a nickname that characterizes (at least in Italian language) her both emotionally and physically, the usual clever pun that the author has accustomed us to in his books. Margherita is a fourteen-year-old teenager, full...

My promise to flight

Written by Sara Patané This novel is available only in the original language     Il vento soffia forte oggi, tanto da far ululare le finestre. Sento la pressione che provoca sulle pareti esterne. Nel mio giardino, che ho provato a curare fallendo miseramente, c’è solo uno splendido e miracoloso fiore violetto. Il viola è sempre stato il mio colore preferito, il primo che abbia mai notato in un quadro; il primo che io stessa userei in...

In the dream house

“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...

Girl interrupted

“When you are sad you need to feel your pain made into music.” Book of memoirs, in which the writer recounts her experience as a patient in a US psychiatric clinic in the late 1960s. A leap into the void crossed after a perhaps incorrect diagnosis of personality disorder, following an alleged attempt to commit suicide. The stay at the McLean private hospital will last for eighteen months, during which the writer lives in a...
