A-Z BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

I’ve seen a few of these lists floating around as per @macrolit‘s idea (you can find their original post here) and obviously I had to spend the past few hours compiling a list of my own. It’s definitely harder than it looks! I was trying to go for some less obvious choices while also paying homage to all the books that have struck a chord with me, but I must admit I had to cheat a little by including a few titles from my TBR pile. In my defense, I have an excellent feeling about all of these – plus, what better motivation to finally get started on reading them? (If only grad school weren’t in the way... but a girl can still dream.)

A - Atonement by Ian McEwan (2001)

A superbly well-written and incredibly touching novel, featuring one of the children characters I’ve related to the most in my reading life. (Yes, I relate to Briony! Not for what she does, of course, but the way she experiences and describes the world is just so so familiar to me.)

B - The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz (2007)

I think I’m still a little heartbroken over this one. It wasn’t always perfect, but it’s stayed with me in a way that other books I’ve read in the past few years haven’t. Plus, I still can’t get over a narrator using footnotes to explain historical details about the Dominican Republic. If you’ve read Díaz before, you’ll definitely fall for Yunior’s voice all over again. And if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?

C - La casa de los espíritus (The House of the Spirits) by Isabel Allende (1982)

I already got one for H (this list was not compiled in alphabetical order) so I’m “cheating” by using the title in the original language (which is also the one I read it in).

D - Du côté de chez Swann (The Way by Swann’s) by Marcel Proust (1913)

...because lately I’ve been mildly (she says) obsessed with Proust and you should be too <3 This is the first volume in the monumental In Search of Lost Time. I went in knowing hardly anything about it other than ~Proust~ and was incredibly surprised by how accessible it was. (If you’re still feeling intimidated, I definitely recommend reading Alain de Botton’s How Proust Can Change Your Life to help break the ice!)

E - Emplumada by Lorna Dee Cervantes (1981)

A poetry collection by the author on whom I wrote my bachelor’s thesis. Lorna Dee Cervantes writes about growing up as a working-class Chicana in the U.S. Southwest. In her poems as in her life, gender, race, and class intersect to make up the experience of a powerful woman and gifted poet who uses incredibly lyrical language.

F - Free Enterprise: A Novel of Mary Ellen Pleasant by Michelle Cliff (1993)

Now, if you want some good, kickass, well-researched alternative historiography featuring Black historical lady figures, then this is the book for you. It’s an account (fictional, yes, but in no way less significant than the ‘authorized’ history) of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry and the women that took part in it (for non-U.S. readers, John Brown was a white abolitionist who tried to start an armed slave revolt). One of those women was Mary Ellen Pleasant, a black woman and entrepreneur who helped fund John Brown’s raid. So, yep, you should definitely get to this one straight away. It’s not the most accessible kind of writing because it moves across time, space, and characters, but if you pay enough attention you’ll have no problem following it until the end, and you’ll be immensely enriched because of it. <3

G - The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford (1915)

This is the saddest story I have ever heard. That’s the first line of the book, by the way. If you like unreliable narrators and morally-dubious characters, you’ll definitely enjoy this one.

H - Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2006)

Adichie is very well known right now because of her booklet We Should All Be Feminists (and with good reason), but this is the one that made me fall in love with her. I don’t even remember what led me to buying this book when I basically knew nothing about her, but I’m so glad I did. I love historical fiction and this novel about the Biafran War just broke my heart in all the right places. One of my best on-a-whim purchases.

I - If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio (2017)

This is one of the latest books I’ve read but more importantly one I’ve been excited to read for at least two years. The stakes were high but wow, did it deliver. It’s been marketed as a mystery/literary thriller but I get the feeling that this kind of description could turn away readers who are not into mysteries but who would have plenty of other reasons to enjoy this novel. Yes, there is a mystery (and the pacing is excellent!) but the story is really about the characters, who are really well-developed. Rio ( @m-l-rio) has the incredible ability to set a scene with great economy of words and make each of them count. And, oh, that ending was absolutely perfect.

(Special mention: If This Is a Man by Primo Levi.)

J - Jacques the Fatalist and his Master by Denis Diderot (1796)

A novel about subverting the reader’s expectations (and I mean that). I read this one some 6 years ago but I still think about it as one of the funniest novels (or non-novels?) I’ve ever read and I can’t wait to read it again one day. It gets very, very meta and I remember lots of (subtle or not-so-subtle) criticism on the art of the novel as practised by Diderot’s contemporaries.

(Special mention: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Because, do I even need to explain? <3)

K - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (1960)

Well, this one is a bit obvious. Didn’t have a lot of K-titles to choose from... But also, this was one of the first books I read in English, at a time when my love of literature fully-blossomed, and that makes it even more special.

L - The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon (1956)

I loved the writing in this novel about the life of West Indian immigrants in London in the 1950s. Such a strong narrative voice. Its only flaw is that it only focuses on the male immigrant experience, but that’s no reason not to love it anyway.

M - Manual of the Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho (1997)

The book that made me get into Paulo Coelho quite a few years ago. I’m less into him now, but this is still among my favourites <3 A book one can turn to in times of hardship, always ready to offer much-needed words of wisdom.

N - North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (1855)

I think @dukeofbookingham once described this as “Pride and Prejudice with a social conscience” and I don’t think I can top that description. If you’re still unsure about this, why not watch the 2004 BBC adaptation with Richard Armitage?

O - Orlando by Virginia Woolf (1928)

Sometimes a bit difficult to get through, but so beautifully written that it makes it totally worth it. Also, such an imaginative read!

P - Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw (1913)

Maaaaan I love this play. My inner linguistic nerd can’t resist Higgins’s endavours to train Eliza to speak like a “proper lady”, and the feminist in me is ever in awe of Eliza’s strength of character. (Don’t trust the ending they gave her in My Fair Lady. Shaw was much smarter than that.)

Q - Regina di fiori e di perle (Queen of Flowers and Pearls) by Gabriella Ghermandi (2011)

Now this is a double cheat because 1) I’m using the translation to make it work, and 2) I took it from my TBR pile, but this is one I’m really excited about, and it’s by an Italo-Ethiopian author, so... <3

R - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard (1966)

There were plenty of more obvious choices for this one and I’ve actually only ever seen the film adaptation, but I love the idea for this play so much I couldn’t resist. Plus, I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a copy since forever...

S - Sillabari (Abecedary) by Goffredo Parise (1972-1982)

Going again by the title in the original language. Honestly, I keep trying to recommend this wonderful book to my English-speaking friends but it’s so frustrating because only the first part of this (...novel? collection?) has been translated into English. “Collection” doesn’t seem like the right word because there is such a strong thematic unity to this book, but it is certainly made up of vignettes, each of which is meant to describe a human feeling, something that is achieved with great economy of words and often in unexpected and unpredictable ways. Incidentally, this is a particularly fitting title for this list because the vignettes are organized in alphabetical order (Abecedary, anyone?) –the first one is “Amore”, love. If you can read Italian, I cannot recommend this enough!

(Special mention: Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches by Audre Lorde.)

T - The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (1954)

This doesn’t look like cheating but it feels like cheating. :P There were plenty of other titles to choose from but none that was giving me as strong a feeling. Plus, it feels good to pay homage to one of the books that started it all for me <3 (and I actually first discovered Tumblr by looking for LOTR-related content, so it's even more appropriate.)

U - Chasing Utopia: A Hybrid by Nikki Giovanni (2013)

I was trying to go for something that wasn’t Ulysses (which I haven’t read yet, by the way). Now, I haven’t read this whole collection, but I remember reading some of Nikki Giovanni’s poetry in one of my American literature classes and I definitely liked her work. Plus, I love that title! I had kind of forgotten about this one, so now might be the right time to go and actually check it out from the library.

V - Il visconte dimezzato (The Cloven Viscount) by Italo Calvino (1951)

Wow, was it difficult to find a worthy V-title! (Or one that is not in my TBR pile.) I haven’t read the books in this unconventional ‘trilogy’ in so long, but I still remember liking them a lot (although my favourite was always The Nonexistent Knight).

W - Waiting in the Twilight by Joan Riley (1987)

This is a more obscure title and probably not as easy to get a hold of (AbeBooks would be your best option) but this immigrant story about a Jamaican woman and her dream of building a better life for herself told from the perspective of her disenchanted old self is incredibly powerful and just... my heart breaks for Adella.

X/Y - I got nothing. :(

Z - Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde (1982)

Another one that I haven’t read (yet), but this is Audre Lorde, so. <3

[persinsala]

Magiche e stranianti performance nella terza edizione del Festival delle arti di strada di Piazza in Piazza.

Arte, musica e spettacoli dal vivo in piazza sono al centro di Di Piazza In Piazza. A colpire, da subito, è il profumo di antico, perché attraversando il ponte Mario Martire è come se ci si immergesse in una dimensione altra, fatta di suoni, luci e suggestioni che avvolgono, complice l’incredibile cornice architettonica della Cosenza Vecchia. Ed è un vero e proprio percorso quello che la manifestazione offre: perché lungo tre piazze e lo stretto corso che le collega sono disseminati spettacoli di strada di ogni genere, dal più canonico fino al più eccentrico. Acrobazie e clownerie, animazione itinerante e musicisti di strada, mangiatori di fuoco e mimi, equilibrismo e musica: dall’Italia e non solo.

«Il mio spettacolo si chiama I’m Still Flying: Letter, un titolo che ha molti significati: io vengo dal Giappone e vivo in Germania», confessa Hayatonnu, perfomer nipponico di straordinaria abilità, «quindi viaggio quasi sempre: mia figlia è rimasta in Giappone, ecco perché la mia vita è perennemente in volo. Se questo spiga la prima parte, per quanto riguarda l’altra, Letter, tutte le persone della mia vita aspettano una mia lettera, da mia figlia ai miei genitori, ai miei amici. E io vivo proprio in quelle lettere!» Esibizioni quindi che sanno unire la personalità dell’autore a una incredibile spettacolarità: passando anche per lo straniamento del Blink Circus.

In un piccolo spiazzo, nascosto fra le mura dei palazzi antichi, da un tendone fuoriesce odore di mistero. Davanti all’ingresso, un guardiano sui trampoli avverte: «Benvenuti nel nostro piccolo Blink Circus: un’installazione unica al mondo, nel suo genere, vi faremo accomodare con una lente d’ingrandimento per avere una visione soggettiva del nostro mondo onirico e surreale. Potrete muovere ogni luce e ogni struttura, sedervi, sfogliare le immagini: insomma, creare il vostro mondo all’interno del nostro». E forse proprio nel Blink Circus c’è il senso e il suggello di questa terza edizione di Di Piazza In Piazza: una kermesse sovraffollata che non ha un unico punto di vista né un’unica lettura, ma una varietà di reazioni emotive e prospettive, a seconda dal punto di vista dalla quale si guarda. Perché se è vero che offre un’ampia gamma di performance, capaci di restituire l’estrema versatilità del genere busker (anche dal punto di vista della resa qualitativa), non eccelle affatto dal punto di vista organizzativo e strutturale nell’utilizzo di una location così suggestiva e adeguatamente sfruttata solo per l’atmosfera, meno per come a lasciato che il pubblico si perdesse nei vicoli non riuscendo ad orientarsi in una tre giorni caotica senza guida, scritta o online, con la quale poter scegliere tra le tante offerte. Correndo quindi il pericolo di soffermarsi fin troppo su spettacoli marginali e così perdere piccole perle come la potenza degli argentini Nube, la visionarietà degli Sherdan Fire Theater, la magica musica dal vivo con Monsieur Barnaba, o anche l’originalità degli AcroCuochi.

  … SCARLETT JOHANSSON

  Encore une fois, c’est en rédigeant une courte biographie de l’actrice, que je me suis intéressé à sa filmographie. Fatalement, on découvre qu’on est loin d’avoir tout vu. J’en profite également pour rappeler que pour cette rubrique, j’ai décidé de ne pas faire de distinction particulière, c’est à dire que j’ai choisi sans tenir compte de la place, de l’importance de l’actrice au sein de la distribution, de l’époque où le film a été tourné, du thème, etc. L’idée n’est pas de désigner les meilleurs rôles, mais les meilleurs films.

D’une manière générale, on peut dire que la longévité de la carrière peut jouer un rôle. Mais l’âge n’est pas forcément une vérité absolue. Un acteur peut avoir démarré sa carrière tardivement, où avoir du succès en atteignant un certain âge. On peut prendre comme exemple, Sean Connery, qui après la période James Bond a joué dans des films moindres avant de relancer sa carrière dans les années 1980 avec des films comme “Le Nom de la Rose” (1986), “Les Incorruptibles” (1987), ou encore “A la poursuite d’Octobre Rouge” (1990). On peut également citer John Travolta, qui après la période des films comme “La Fièvre du Samedi Soir” (1977), “Grease” (1978) et même “Staying Alive” (1983), a vécu une traversée du désert, jusqu’à ce que Quentin Tarantino lui offre le rôle de Vincent Vega dans “Pulp Fiction” (1994). De là, l’acteur sera remis en selle avec des films comme “Broken Arrow” (1996), “Phénomène” (1996), “Volte/face” (1997), etc.

Dans la filmographie de Scarlett Johansson il n’y a que peu de déchets. En effet, dans l’ensemble l’actrice semble bien choisir ses rôles ou, a de la chance de se retrouver dans des productions à succès. J’aurais pu choisir “Lost in Translation” (2003), “La jeune fille à la perle” (2003), “Love Song” (2004), justement avec John Travolta, “The Island” (2005) de Michael Bay et avec  Ewan McGregor, ou encore “Lucy” (2014) de Luc Besson et avec Morgan Freeman, voir opter pour quelque chose de plus récent avec “Ghost in the Shell” de Rupert Sanders et avec l’excellent Takeshi Kitano.

Reste que pour ce genre de rubrique les choix sont arbitraires et n’engagent que celui qui les fait. En ce qui me concerne, les voici :

1/. “Le Prestige” (2006) de Christopher Nolan. Londres, au début du siècle dernier… Robert Angier et Alfred Borden sont deux magiciens surdoués, promis dès leur plus jeune âge à un glorieux avenir. Une compétition amicale les oppose d’abord l’un à l’autre, mais l’émulation tourne vite à la jalousie, puis à la haine. Devenus de farouches ennemis, les deux rivaux vont s’efforcer de se détruire l’un l’autre en usant des plus noirs secrets de leur art. Cette obsession aura pour leur entourage des conséquences dramatiques…

2/. “Avengers” (2012) de Joss Whedon. Lorsque Nick Fury, le directeur du S.H.I.E.L.D., l’organisation qui préserve la paix au plan mondial, cherche à former une équipe de choc pour empêcher la destruction du monde, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye et Black Widow répondent présents. Les Avengers ont beau constituer la plus fantastique des équipes, il leur reste encore à apprendre à travailler ensemble, et non les uns contre les autres, d’autant que le redoutable Loki a réussi à accéder au Cube Cosmique et à son pouvoir illimité…

3/. “Captain America: Civil War” (2016) de Anthony et Joe Russo. Steve Rogers est désormais à la tête des Avengers, dont la mission est de protéger l’humanité. À la suite d’une de leurs interventions qui a causé d’importants dégâts collatéraux, le gouvernement décide de mettre en place un organisme de commandement et de supervision. Cette nouvelle donne provoque une scission au sein de l’équipe : Steve Rogers reste attaché à sa liberté de s’engager sans ingérence gouvernementale, tandis que d’autres se rangent derrière Tony Stark, qui contre toute attente, décide de se soumettre au gouvernement…
