Morgana the Fairy

by Redazione
Books5 June 20266 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Expecting mirages to take us where we want to go is madness.”   Morgana is the deceptive fairy who distorts reality through strange visions, making hallucinations something we must necessarily confront. The treatise on imaginary ethnography that Celati presents us does more or less the same thing: it forces us to immerse ourselves in the lives of a nonexistent people, describing their habits, stories, and characteristics, mocking a certain colonial descriptivism and leaving...

The bitter life

by Redazione
Books31 October 20255 min

“I knew a secretary who only knew how to lick envelopes and stamps, yet she became indispensable […].” Approaching the text was not easy. The book calls to attention all potential and future readers; it forces them to patiently interpret, with a touch of wit and irony; and it condemns them to follow the protagonist’s ebb and flow of thoughts and reflections: we are in his head, and we must deal with this from the...

Gentelmen children

by Redazione
Books5 September 20255 min

“VENERDÌ RE-VERSO” “Imagination does not mean lying.”   This is a book for children; this is a book for adults; it’s a book for teachers; it’s a book for dreamers: this is Daniel Pennac, ladies and gentlemen. Not all of the French author’s works reach such heights, yet this book should be read and reread at all ages, laughing (sometimes bitterly) and reflecting on many small, important themes, without seeking “easy solutions.” As always, Pennac...

Pereira Maintains

by Redazione
Naturally13 May 20256 min

Anyone who has read Sostiene Pereira by Antonio Tabucchi knows that it is a novel destined to last beyond the time and space of the fragment of history it tells. I read it just a few weeks ago, while I was in Lisbon. I read it on the plane out, on the famous tram 28 that crosses the city and then sitting on a bench, in front of the sea. And yet, although my scenario...

Alma

Books12 July 20244 min

“At some point it is easier to go to war than to return home.” Attention please. We are faced with a true narrative text, as has not happened to us for a long time, in which the story narrated, modern in many of its aspects, is combined with a dusty style (in a positive sense) typical of quality writing after the Second World War. As we like to specify, the text will last for years,...

Chronicle of a Blood Merchant

by Redazione
Books7 June 20248 min

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “Today is my birthday. Everyone come and taste my sautéed pork liver.”   When we reached page 50 we wanted to beat up whoever recommended this reading to us; by page 135 we had already cried three times; once we finished the book we were looking for the author’s complete bibliography. (Note to the reader: “The City That Doesn’t Exist” was released in recent days by Feltrinelli.) Yu Hua has mastered the ancient art of...

It’s east

by Redazione
Books13 April 20244 min

“We have already been halfway around the world: so why do we feel like we have never traveled before?” Paolo Rumiz confirms himself to be, also in this book, the pen of the wandering traveler that we would all like to be. A fluid prose that at times borders on poetry, due to the pool of words in which it invites the reader to immerse themselves. The text is a reportage of six stories that report...

Ex cattedra and other school stories

by Redazione
Books22 December 20234 min

“Correcting Italian homework is a torment. […] read one, you’ve read them all. Three in a row can cause death.” If you have in mind the Starnone of his latest novels, forget him. Form, substance and times belong to another writer (in a figurative sense), the only point of contact between the pen of yesterday and that of today is the ironic component, typical of Neapolitan culture. The book is in fact the disarming transposition...

Behind the Door

by Redazione
Books18 November 20225 min

“Misfortune had made a man out of him.” Moving like few other books, capable of touching the dormant childhood within each of us. With this long story, Bassani delves into his memories as a boy, up to take us to the beginning of the school year of 1929-30 in a classical high school, in his beloved Ferrara (the city of Bassani’s heart!). The shyness of the protagonist and a character that has not yet fully...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ La si ama o la si odia. Non c’è un grigio nei sentimenti che si possono nutrire per Valeria Parrella. Proprio non c’è: è una questione di bianchi o di neri. Lo credo con forza, e per questo son partito con l’amare: io faccio parte di quelli che son stati mosche dentro la pancia di quella sua balena; così...
