The Unbidden guest

“Was it fair for one to take the worst and the others the best?” Beautiful, delicate, intense, hollowed out and shaped book of life. The story talks about the story of the author, an Italian-American, who returned from the United States to fight on the Austrian front during the First World War. An epic-romantic beginning, therefore, of the emigrant who returns home to fight under the banner of his native country, against an unknown enemy....

My Free German Youth

 “FRIDAY DI-VERSO” “There was no need to rage. There was no need. Life was on our side.” The eyes of memory choose what to remember; and this makes the difference. The original title of this “episodic novel” is literally “My German Free Youth”. Now: it sounds a bit like “my cool summer in the Sahara”. Because Claudia Rush grew up in the GDR, the Deutsche Demokratische Republik, which she was not really democratic, considering that that...

Useless thoughts do not like high altitude

Writte by Donatella Lanza This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________   Camminare esercita un potere emolliente sui pensieri, soprattutto quelli ingarbugliati e dolorosi. Questa convinzione è una delle cose che più mi accomuna ad Arianna, la protagonista del racconto. Di origine romana, Arianna si è trasferita a Milano per lasciarsi alle spalle un presente incerto, in equilibrio precario tra slancio artistico e ricerca della stabilità economica, tormentato da relazioni sentimentali infelici....

After the Quake

Written by Micol Rizzo This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Chiunque mi segua da un po’, conosce la mia passione per questo autore che, in un modo o nell’altro, riesce sempre a portarci attraverso meravigliosi viaggi emotivi ed introspettivi, mettendoci nella condizione di porci domande e dubbi, con una delicatezza che pochi autori possono vantare. “Tutti i figli di Dio danzano” narra sei storie diverse, con un unico tema centrale a fare...

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...
