Libro vincitore del Premio Strega 2025 Libro vincitore del Premio Strega Giovani 2025Lanniversario e prima di tutto un romanzo di liberazione, che scardina e smaschera il totalitarismo della famiglia. Ci ferisce con la sua onesta, ci disarma con il suo candore, ci mette a nudo con la sua verita. È lo schiaffo ricevuto appena nati: grazie a quel dolore respiriamo.Dieci anni fa, quel giorno, ho visto i miei genitori per lultima volta. Da allora ho cambiato numero di telefono, casa, continente, ho tirato su un muro inespugnabile, ho messo un oceano di mezzo. Sono stati i dieci anni migliori della mia vita. Si possono abbandonare il proprio padre e la propria madre? Si puo sbattere la porta, scendere le scale e decidere che non li si vedra piu? Mettere in discussione lorigine, sfuggire alla sua stretta? Dopo dieci anni sottratti al logoramento di una violenza sottile e pervasiva tra le mura di casa, finalmente un figlio puo voltarsi e narrare la sua disgraziata famiglia e il tabu di questa censura con la forza brutale del romanzo. E celebrare cosi un lacerante anniversario: senza accusare e senza salvare, con una voce scandalosamente calma, come scrive Emmanuel Carrere a rimarcarne la potenza implacabile. Il racconto che ne deriva e il ritratto struggente e lucidissimo di una donna a perdere, che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di essere qualcosa agli occhi del marito, mentre lui tiene lei e i figli dentro un regime in cui possesso e richiesta damore sono i lacci di un unico nodo. Lisolamento stagno a cui li costringe viene infranto a tratti dagli squilli di un apparecchio telefonico mal tollerato, da qualche sporadico compagno di scuola, da unamica della madre che viene presto bandita. In questo microcosmo concentrazionario, a poco a poco si innesta nel figlio, e nei lettori, un desiderio insopprimibile di rinascita essere se stessi, vivere la propria vita, aprirsi agli altri senza il terrore delle ritorsioni. Con la certezza che, per mettersi in salvo, da li niente puo essere salvato.Proposto da Emanuele Trevi al Premio Strega 2025 con la seguente motivazione:È una storia eccezionale, quella di Bajani, che infrange un vero e proprio tabu: nelle prime pagine del libro incontriamo il protagonista che ci racconta dellultima volta che ha visto i suoi genitori, prima di voltare le spalle per sempre alla sua famiglia, disgregata dalla violenza del padre-padrone e dalla muta, disperata sottomissione della madre. Per delineare unimmagine credibile di questo inferno domestico e della fuga senza ritorno del protagonista, il narratore ricorre alle risorse del romanzo per mettere ordine nei dati dellesperienza, spiccando quel salto mortale capace di condurlo dallinformita del reale alla consistenza e alla leggibilita del vero. Ed e solo cosi che una vicenda singola si trasforma in uno specchio in cui tutti i lettori possono intravedere qualcosa che non conoscevano direttamente, eppure li riguarda. Lanniversario e un romanzo avvincente e originalissimo, che colpisce chi legge come un pugno nella testa e nella pancia. Bajani non sente il bisogno ne di condannare, ne di perdonare, e ci racconta quanto sia impervia e necessaria la via del riscatto.

THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THATS LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel. ''''Simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligentit renders most other fiction meaningless." Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore. Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn One of The Atlantics Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youthmusicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkiesthe book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices, the story remains unchanged. Similarly, the cultural fascination with House of Leaves remains as fervent and as imaginative as ever. The novel has gone on to inspire doctorate-level courses and masters theses, cultural phenomena like the online urban legend of the backrooms, and incredible works of art in entirely unrealted mediums from music to video games. Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another storyof creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.
