The City and Its Uncertain Walls

by Redazione
Your Reviews2 December 20255 min

Written by Ernesto Florio This review is available only in the original language _______________________________ Lettura impegnativa, ma addolcita, come sempre, dalla magia coinvolgente di Murakami. Anche questa volta gli ingredienti del realismo magico orientale ci sono tutti: personaggi strani che compiono azioni inspiegabili, avvenimenti curiosi e privi di una qualsiasi spiegazione logica, i velati riferimenti alla società giapponese, i gatti e la musica jazz,  l’amore adolescenziale, la nostalgia e il destino come motori essenziali dell’esistenza...

Laces

by Redazione
Naturally14 October 20257 min

On the occasion of Starnone’s new book, now available in all bookstores, I thought it appropriate to recall the novel of hers that has moved me most in recent years: Laces. A book that for me was much more than a simple reading experience: rather, I found myself walking through the four desolate walls of a family that I immediately felt inhabited the same room as me, and emerging a little unsteady, angry and at...

The man who did not believe in God

by Redazione
Books19 September 20254 min

“Only the victors have a destiny. The irrelevant do not, they are deprived of it. They are not recognized.” A challenging read; to be honest, some complex concepts deserve a second period of reflection, which we intend to dedicate to in the future, to catch our breath from the depths of certain concepts. Philosophy, history, theology, and sociology intermingle in the author’s torrent of words, memories, and reasoning. This is not surprising, considering that the...

Snow Country

by Redazione
Naturally8 July 20257 min

This book was given to me with a simple dedication: “To those who melted the snow.” Since then, it has become one of those books that you never really leave — that live silently in your heart. And I assure you that it will also melt the snow that perhaps you didn’t know you were carrying around with you. The amazing journey you will immerse yourself in, in fact, will not only be within the...

Nothing else to report

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “And what could not be explained, not even by a fervent imagination, disturbed the necessary order.” This is not a book, but a meeting. First of all, the meeting of the author, Francesca Valente, with her friend and psychiatrist Luciano Sorrentino. Then it is the meeting with a topic, that of mental health, which always creates some problems for public attention: we act a bit like with the mad, we say “yes, yes, it’s...

Sea in the morning

by Redazione
Books19 April 20254 min

“The rust of nostalgia scratched between the teeth like sand.” Interesting, and we didn’t expect it. The story surprised us, capable of lighting up and staying alive; a burning soul in the deep waters of the Mediterranean. The story opens with little Farid, a Libyan child who has never seen the sea, and daydreams about the world, as only children can do. The tranquility of everyday life and games is interrupted by the outbreak of...

With your head under water

by Redazione
Books14 March 20254 min

“Diving into the pool reminds me of the sensation of being wrapped […], a tender embrace that consoles me at the end of a tiring day.” You see the cover of a book, you understand roughly what the book might be about, and then you put it back on the shelf, because you think the topic is not interesting. This is what usually happens with books written by athletes, especially if they are about sports...

When the Emperor was Divine

by Redazione
Books22 November 20245 min

“She had married late, had become a mother late and was now aging prematurely.” Total light in the style and in the story told. A book that enlightens the reader for the narrative delicacy of the author, and for the desire to bring out of the shadows one of the least virtuous pages of American history. Total surprise for us, who guiltily did not know the author and the book, but for which we must...

“FRIDAY RE-VERSO” “…where your body announced […] its presence there, at the mercy of your laborious apprenticeship to the work of the world.”   On October 15, 2024, Antonio Skármeta died. Many have seen “Il postino” starring Troisi, not as many have read that masterpiece of humanity and literature that is “Ardente paciencia”, translated into Italian as “Il postino di Neruda”. A few days before Skàrmeta’s death, excited by a chat about that title, we decided...

Great Meraviglia

Books10 May 20244 min

“Everyone is afraid and feels alone, and life is everyone’s prison.” Elba is a young teenager forced to live inside a psychiatric facility in the early eighties. Her only fault is that of being the daughter of a woman hosted in the facility, and when she passes away, rather than being sent to an orphanage, she remains living in the asylum, although she has no diagnosis of insanity. Doctors, nurses, supervisors and patients, each committed...
