Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesnt know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesnt? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, its just enough that he sees her when no one else does.Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.

Departure(s) is a work of fiction but that doesnt mean its not true.It is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?It begins at the end of life but it doesnt end there. Ultimately, its about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

Marco Carrera, il protagonista del nuovo romanzo di Sandro Veronesi, e il colibri. La sua e una vita di continue sospensioni ma anche di coincidenze fatali, di perdite atroci e amori assoluti. Non precipita mai fino in fondo: il suo e un movimento incessante per rimanere fermo, saldo, e quando questo non e possibile, per trovare il punto darresto della caduta perche sopravvivere non significhi vivere di meno. Intorno a lui, Veronesi costruisce altri personaggi indimenticabili, che abitano unarchitettura romanzesca perfetta. Un mondo intero, in un tempo liquido che si estende dai primi anni settanta fino a un cupo futuro prossimo, quando allimprovviso splendera il frutto della resilienza di Marco Carrera: e una bambina, si chiama Miraijin, e sara luomo nuovo. Un romanzo che incanta e commuove, sulla forza struggente della vita.
