FictionSeptember 2020Nives
by Sacha Naspini
Cillerai’s widow can’t seem to be able to shed a tear for her husband’s death. She hasn’t cried when she found his body, she hasn’t cried at his funeral. When her daughter goes back home in France, Nives is left alone in her estate, with her animals and her little home. Nights are the toughest. She can’t sleep – her body feels numb and completely awake; one day she decides to take her favourite chicken, Giacomina, from the henhouse and keep her with her in the bedroom. Her anxiety immediately evaporates. She feels relieved and guilty: how could she replace her dead husband with a chicken? She sleeps safe and sound now, silence and loneliness don’t scare her anymore. She even starts feeling inexplicably happy… Then one day, Giacomina ends up paralyzed in front of the tv, hypnotized by a detergent ad. Nives tries everything to wake her, but the chicken seems to be completely frozen. The only choice she is left with is to call the vet, Loriano Bottai. Follows a phone call that seems to last a lifetime. Soon the conversation slips from the chicken to the past – the tension on the line changes, it becomes something else. Something that echoes regrets, rage and unforgivable memories – lost loves and bitterness. Beyond Our Souls at Night, Nives is the stories we tell ourselves at night, when we can’t sleep. Stories of unspoken passions, of abandonment, of silent, heart-breaking nostalgia. We go back and forth in time with Nives, and we feel her anger, her loneliness, her desperate generosity in giving all of herself to Loriano and to the reader. With rage and infinite dignity, she breaks down and slowly takes the pieces of her life, of a life she told herself was hers, back together in one phone call – oftentimes it seems she is not even listening to the other side, but more speaking to her past self. She wants to fill the void that has haunted her for thirty years. What to do of that past, of all the roads we wanted to take we never had the guts to follow? What to do with all the years spent living lies? But ultimately – is life ever a lie, or is it just what it is? Are the sliding doors just stories we tell ourselves when we are not able to accept who we truly are? With this new, ground-breaking novel, Naspini explores the core of who we are with such delicateness, such humanity, that it is impossible not to recognize yourself in the flawed, sad, messy, beautiful lives these characters have built for themselves. Nives’ story, her inner world, her courage in finally embracing the truth of her life, makes her story universal and necessary – she is honest, raw, clean, incorruptible. A fierce new heroine of Italian contemporary literature, one that is finally not afraid to look at herself in the mirror.

Children's & YAMay 2020Rosalía y el revés de las cosas
by Julia Broguet - Romina Biassoni
Illustrated book that invites to talk about the history of Argentina and rethink the configurations of identity. This book addresses a topic that is usually invisible: the presence and contribution of Afro-descendants in this country. And he does it in a sensitive way, recounting a day in the life of an enslaved girl during the years before the independence of the Spanish colonies in America. But the precision of the historical reference does not prevent this book from reaching a universal dimension. The beautiful illustrations in vibrant colours recover images from the archaeological and historical records in Santa Fe, Argentina (ceramics found in Arroyo Leyes; references to period clothing according to social class; children's games from colonial times; coexistence between enslaved African groups and native populations, etc.). This historical-anthropological reconstruction supports a sensitive story according to the child reader, in which a day in the life of an enslaved girl, Rosalía, is told, without low blows and with a prose full of poetry. The text challenges the reader and, from the display of images and evocations, introduces them to a world that is now far away but with many points of contact. A book to think, to feel and to reflect.
