AliceL’amore non trionfa, si sa® “Settembre Nero” (La nave di Teseo) è il nuovo romanzo storico di Sandro Veronesi. Storico perché ci fa affondare nell’Italia di mezzo secolo fa, nell’estate del 1972, anno delle olimpiadi di Monaco, dell’attacco terroristico del gruppo Settembre nero – appunto – agli atleti israeliani. Ma quello, si scopre presto, è solo un evento sullo sfondo di quell’estate: sono tutt’altri i motivi per cui sarà nero, l’assolato settembre del giovanissimo protagonista, Gigio Bellandi di anni dodici. Quel settembre sarà infatti la coda di una lunghissima stagione di vacanze al mare, che parte dolce e piena di scoperte, poi sfoc...2025-01-041h 06

Citizen of HeavenYEAR END: My Most Disappointing Books of 2023Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!Back in May, when I listed my best, most disappointing, most surprising and thinkiest books I had read to that point, I had no idea what I was in for. Since that time I have averaged a bit more than one book a day. That translates to, well, a lot of books. And they weren’t all winners. I was able to derive some benefit from everything I read. However, some of my choices did not deliver nearly as much as I had hoped. These are those bo...2023-12-1533 min

Big TableEpisode 52: A Chapter about SlimeFile Under: Slime by Christopher Michlig — a cultural history of Slime — was recently published by Hat & Beard Editions.
What is slime? We are well acquainted with its qualities in conjunction with certain things from which we tend to recoil but to which we are also at times attracted. Despite being everywhere, slime is a surprisingly unexamined cultural phenomenon.
File Under: Slime collates a cultural history of “slime” and “sliminess,” with particular emphasis on precedents in pop-culture, contemporary art, ecology, science fiction, literature, critical theory, and cinema. Artist and professor Christopher Michlig’s research characterizes slime as a pervasive, oozing, cultural phenomenon, doc...2023-07-2036 min
