Michael Mc Grath ha elegido el libro de relatos de Kate Atkinson, Not
the end of the World, y Colm Rush nos propone la novela About a boy, de
Nick Hornby. |
Memorie di una ladra Teresa Numa, protagonista del romanzo, e davvero una ladra e la sua storia si svolge (a Roma e poi in diverse localita d´Italia) in squallide pensioni, nei cinema di terza categoria, nelle prigioni in cui si respira lesbismo e violenza. E anche nel manicomio criminale di Pozzuoli. Teresa si muove tra truffatori, prostitute ed "esperti" del borseggio, ma rimane una persona semplice, allegra, a modo suo onesta e pudica. Nel mondo di Teresa la violenza e la sopraffazione sono quotidiane; l´amore e a pagamento, il sesso e merce di scambio; il lavoro non si trova mai, il denaro, quando c´e, appartiene agli altri, la fame invece e sempre presentee Dacia Maraini, attraverso Teresa e gli altri personaggi di questo libro (scritto nel 1973), ci presenta un ritratto della società italiana nei primi anni Settanta, ancora vivissimo a distanza di tanto tempo. |

Not the end of the World is Kate Atkinson's first collection of stories, and they are brilliant, daring, witty and provocative. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses, or, if you prefer, by Prada, Mary Poppins, Moschino and Barbie, these stories are full of the poignancy of abandoned children and lonely adults, the seductiveness of our consumer society, and the fatalism of a post-Apocalyptic world. From Charlene and Trudi, madly shopping while bombs explode softly in the world outside, to gormless Eddie, a cataloguer of fish, and Meredith Zane who discovered the secret to eternal life, each story has a cast of wonderful, startling characters. What each of them explores is the infinite variety of ways in which people can try to change the world around them, and themselves |

About a Boy is a 1998 novel by British writer Nick Hornby. It was widely acclaimed for accurately rendering the thoughts and feelings of twelve year-old Marcus, who feels displaced and lonely in several ways. It is also the moving story of Will Freeman, an emotionally undeveloped man in his 30s coming to find meaning in his life, despite having never held a job and living off the sizable residuals of his father's one song, a one hit wonder about Santa Claus. The title is inspired by the Nirvana song, About a Girl. The book also makes many references to the band. Most of the action in the novel is set in Islington, and in particular the Clerkenwell area. |
