What is in your blood

“FRIDAY DI-VERSO” “The true form of blood is a chain, and its weight is unsustainable”. This is not a question: it is already a conclusion. And it’s in the title: it takes some character, to put a full stop and not a question mark. It gives us a bit of the weight of this young rookie, Gaia Giovagnoli, who with a hint of self-confidence writes this book to talk about roots, women, research, the unexpected. How...

Nothing true

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ C’è sempre una linea molto sottile tra ironia, sarcasmo, sardonicitá e tristezza profonda. Come pure, è davvero labile il confine tra le parole amare e quelle taglienti, capaci non solo di mettere allegria ma di far proprio sganasciare dalle risate. Niente di vero è un romanzo che appartiene a questa categoria dello scrivere, a mio parere, dove non son...

The judge of Cuvio

“The lady was waiting for him at the door and pulling him in like a sip of water.” The story of Augusto Vanghetta, before and after rising to the public office of judge, is that of a miserable person who, due to a fortuitous series of events, and very few personal merits, manages to have social success. Annihilated by a continuous carnal desire to have as many women as possible, he even manages to organize...

Lolita

The books chosen by Federica Dagonese This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Iniziamo dall’inizio, ché è uno degli incipit più ammalianti mai letti da me e certamente, scusate ma è così, tra i più belli di tutta la letteratura mondiale. Mi permetto di riportarlo qui, perché ne vale davvero la pena; sentite come suona– in tutti i sensi- sentite la musica di queste parole e del concetto, tanto delicato, dietro di...

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“There is no doubt that all wisdom comes from anger.” The story is simple and intense. The narrator and protagonist of the story is that of a woman who is no longer very young, in a very small town along the border between Poland and the Czech Republic (but on the Polish side), where everyone knows each other and relations with neighbors are so dry as intense as the winter cold. The protagonist of the...

Broken April

The books chosen by Andrea Salonia This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Torniamo indietro, fino al 1978. Pare un’eternità, e forse lo è per il modo veloce con cui molte delle cose della vita sono poi andate. Molte, ma non tutte, e questi giorni dell’oggi – proprio oggi, 24 febbraio 2022 a maggior ragione –folli, incomprensibili, plasmati della stessa materiale del terrore, ecco, questi giorni mi han obbligato a ripensare alla...

The few certainties on which he had built the second part of his life, in the countryside of central Italy, crumble. The physical pain of falling opens the doors to the latent pain of the soul. After a short period...

Amuri

The books chosen by Federica Dagonese This review is available only in the original language _________________________________________________________________________ Ci sono libri che mi colpiscono dalla copertina e come potevo non resistere a quella di questo libro così bella e colorata e poi con un titolo così Amuri… per me che sono siciliana e che reputo tra le parole mie parole preferite? Ammetto: non leggo neanche la quarta di copertina; aspetto solo di passare dalla vetrina della libreria per altre due...
