Names and animals

“An aunt had told him that his mother was sick and when he had asked about what, his aunt had said to him: mentally ill”. Every now and then, it happens to everyone, we find a book in our hands by chance and something suggests we move it to the top of the notorious “To Be Read” stack. So it was for this NN, open between the skeptic and the lazy on this sentence: “In...

The book of houses

“…this is how the House of Memories opens, but too late for “I” to get inside.” Who are we really? No one better than the places in which we live, or have lived, can tell us better. They are there, motionless or semi-mobile, looking at us, welcoming us, watching us grow, live and observe us as we sometimes leave. “The book of houses” is for us a successful literary experiment to tell the story of...

Little book of fantastic entomology

The story told is extremely simple, but not uncomplicated for this.

It looked like beauty

“What is the precise moment when we discover that flying is the prerogative of birds and butterflies?“ It looked like beauty but it was not: it was pain, suffering, rejection of oneself and of others, admiration mixed with envy and hatred; it looked like youth and instead it was bullying, prevarication and violence; it looked like the success and glory of one’s career and instead it was escape and tears and the constant search for...

Ten words (2 of 2)

Written by Laura Zona This novel is available only in the original language     “Tobia…ma che ti è preso?” disse la donna, mentre agganciava il guinzaglio al collare.

Cosplaygirl

“Going back to my parents’ house doesn’t help.” We started reading this book knowing little about the world of cosplay, and all the parallel reality that spinning around it. For the few who, like us, do not know it, cosplay is a worldwide phenomenon, for which young enthusiasts (but also not so young now) interpret characters from video games or from the manga world, creating costumes and choreography. The book tells the story of Alice,...
