Non chiamarmi col mio nome

de James Purdy ...

Traducido por Floriana Bossi ...

James Purdy e la sua scrittura rimangono un rebus oggi come ieri. Amato da autori che non potrebbero essere più diversi - tra gli altri Jonathan Franzen, Gore Vidal e David Means che firma l'introduzione a questo libro -, non ha mai incontrato il favore del grande pubblico né lo ha mai ricercato. Forse proprio perché non l'abbiamo capito meriterebbe ancora un'altra chance per confonderci e sviarci ... Leer más

A casa quando è buio

de James Purdy ...

Traducido por Floriana Bossi ...

Chissà che non siano le stesse ordalie dell'autore, quelle di un disperato che barricato dentro una cabina telefonica cerca qualcuno a caso a cui poter raccontare una storia, la sua, fatta di una moglie stanca di topi, pappa d'avena e appartamenti fatiscenti. James Purdy del resto ha faticato a incontrare il gusto del grande pubblico e il suo seguito è sempre stato costituito da un manipolo di ... Leer más

Come in una tomba

Scampato dalla guerra sul fronte orientale,  il reduce Garnet Montrose fa ritorno in Virginia  con il corpo dilaniato e il volto talmente  sfigurato da provocare in chi lo guarda orrendi  conati di vomito. In testa non ha che  sbrendoli di pensiero: il frastuono degli uccelli  al mattino, la necessità di trovarsi uno  «schiavo», e un'inquietudine insopprimibile  – la presenza-assenza in fondo alla ...

La fiamma dei tuoi occhi

de James Purdy ...

Traducido por Alessandro Roffeni ...

Una grande finestra illuminata a giorno in una casa immersa nella radura e rischiarata solo da una luna pallida. Davanti a quella casa c'è un uomo che non si capacita di quello che sta succedendo di fronte ai suoi occhi: una tavola imbandita di torte e un predicatore che possiede animalescamente una donna. Tutto precipiterà nel volgere di pochi attimi. Che sia dallo spiraglio dell'anta di un ... Leer más
