Observatory Mansions

Doc's pills1 June 20238 min

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Difficilmente si potrà leggere un romanzo tanto cupo, tanto gotico, ricco di tale cattiveria e tanto buonismo insieme, di illusione e disincanto, come Observatory Mansions. Difficilmente si potrà trovare tanta fantasia perversa, difficilmente ci si troverà magati da una stranezza così normale, una mordace e impietosa descrizione dell’essere umano, pregna di dolore struggente, annegata nell’ironia e condita da uno...

“…but deep down I knew it would be a waste of time. And I was tired of wasting time.” Cameron in his pure essence. If you have already read other books by the author, in this one you will find everything you like about him, like a concentrated juice, to be diluted within the flow of spoken and, above all, unspoken words. If you haven’t read a book by him yet, we recommend starting with...

The houses of serial killers

by Redazione
Books19 May 20234 min

“But if something seems too good to be true, it’s usually false“ Before sharing our thoughts on the book, we think it is right to open three parentheses of reflections, which concern in order: the idea developed, the writing and the realization. The basic idea of the text, although already addressed by other authors, certainly has its own interesting aspect. Telling the homes and stories of serial killers has a sinister appeal that is hard...

Reading Lolita in Tehran

by Redazione
Books12 May 20234 min

“There is nothing more reprehensible than remaining blind to the problems and pains of others.” Memoirs belonging to the category of texts that must be read compulsorily. Up to the age of twenty it should be read in order to grow intellectually, after to be able to appreciate the hidden nuances and inconsistencies of the human being. A title that came into our hands almost by accident, during one of our reading groups, which turned...

“The suburbs are the city’s adolescence.” A commemorative book of our society reduced to a comatose state in its human and social component, and we say it without too many words. To keep it alive the commitment of women and men of the third sector, who without any personal gain dedicate themselves to their neighbor and to cover the shortcomings of the institutions, to ensure that the latter are not left to themselves, humiliated and...

The way of the sisters

by Redazione
Books21 April 20234 min

“Childhood friendships have the consistency of stream water.“ How do personal relationships arise between people? What does it depend on and how does that exact moment come about when a simple acquaintance becomes sincere friendship? Starting from these themes, the writer analyzes the relationships of a friendly nature between women over the years. A narrative engine that works more and more as the pages go by and that the author handles with extreme skill. Hence...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ “La mia vita non è qualcosa che si debba misurare”. Difficilmente avrei potuto trovare incipit più concreto e dicotomico per la Pillola del DOC di oggi. È lì, nelle poche densissime pagine de Il nostro bisogno di consolazione, apparso nel 1952 grazie alla penna anarcoide e disperata di Stig Dagerman, pubblicato da Iperborea con la traduzione di Fulvio Ferrari....

No Longer Human

by Redazione
Books14 April 20234 min

“I am convinced that human life is filled with pure, happy, serene specimens of insincerity.” The plot of the book in a few lines: non-enthralling story of a Japanese artist, Yozo, with the syndrome of feeling rejected by society. To gain acceptance and be the center of attention he devises empty antics, which over the years have less and less hold on those around him. Nothing relevant would be said, a story like many others...

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ha quasi centodue anni, più di un secolo. Così recita l’ultima riga, in calce: 15 agosto 1921. Ieri, praticamente. È piccolo di formato, e breve per numero di pagine. È denso, compatto, è serrato come solo l’espressione del disagio e della paura possono essere. E proprio così si intitola: La paura. È un romanzo scritto da Federico De Roberto, pubblicato...

“Maybe, I thought, it’s not the first love that counts, but the last, the one that accompanies a man to death, that helps him to die.” Piero Chiara’s most complete book, written on the writer’s usual and solid narrative structure, with a strong autobiographical component. The places in which the story is set are those of the province, between Trieste, Udine and the lands across the border in Slovenia that belonged to Italy until the...
