Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cura e con postfazione di Cristiana De Santis. Introduzione di Paolo Di Paolo «Quello non lo insegno.» Così rispondeva Giuseppe Pontiggia a chi gli chiedeva come diventare scrittore. Non basta infatti avere l'attitudine, la volontà, l'ambizione. Come per il nuoto, si possono però ottenere buoni risultati impadronendosi della tecnica, osservando i modelli, allenandosi duramente. Per scrivere «bene» (con stile) bisogna prima liberarsi da una serie di pregiudizi: che scrittori si nasca, che il talento e l'ispirazione contino più di un severo apprendistato, che un testo letterario (e in generale un testo efficace) nasca già perfetto anziché perfettibile. Di questo era convinto Pontiggia quando, nel 1985, inaugurava la prima scuola di scrittura in Italia. Una scuola in cui si imparava innanzitutto a leggere. Leggere in senso forte, cominciando dai classici, in un «corpo a corpo» con il testo pensato per affinare la capacità di giudizio e scoprire insieme le potenzialità e i limiti delle proprie risorse espressive. Ma soprattutto per lasciarsi emozionare dalle parole, per esplorarne le stratificazioni, per imparare a usarle in modo responsabile. Scrivere, per Pontiggia, non è trascrivere le proprie esperienze, sensazioni o memorie, ma andare incontro all'inatteso che sorprende, al nuovo che disorienta: pronti a tornare indietro, e a riscrivere se necessario, per dire nel modo migliore quanto si va scoprendo attraverso il linguaggio. Perché la scrittura è un viaggio che non si lascia pianificare, ma anche il risultato di un lavoro paziente, fatto di un rapporto concreto con il testo, in tutto simile a quello dell'artigiano all'opera nel suo laboratorio. Un laboratorio che Pontiggia ha allestito per anni durante i suoi incontri settimanali al Teatro Verdi di Milano, dialogando con un pubblico eterogeneo (studenti, professionisti, aspiranti scrittori). Le sue lezioni, pubblicate a metà degli anni Novanta su due riviste («Wimbledon» e «Sette»), sono ora raccolte in un unico volume. Trentatré conversazioni in cui l'autore, in forma di intervista, affronta i molteplici aspetti della scrittura «espressiva», a cui si aggiungono altre quattro lezioni, «per addetti ai lavori ma non solo», in cui la riflessione sulla scrittura diventa essa stessa un alto esempio di scrittura saggistica, ricca di aforismi e battute fulminanti; dove il confronto con i classici, ancora una volta, ci introduce nella biblioteca e nell'officina dello scrittore, pronti a carpirne i segreti.

Book excerpt: Una Donna by Sibilla Aleramo Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1906 e ripubblicato nel corso degli anni in molteplici edizioni, questo romanzo nasce dall'esperienza autobiografica dell'autrice ed è frutto di quei fermenti sociali che portarono alla nascita del femminismo, di cui la Aleramo stessa si sentì parte attiva. Nell'intento di rivelare, per la prima volta, "l'anima femminile moderna," con grande spirito realistico la Aleramo compone pagine di aperta denuncia e di critica sociale, affrontando argomenti come la povertà e l'ignoranza, le differenze regionali, il socialismo e naturalmente la condizione svantaggiosa da cui la donna avrebbe dovuto riscattarsi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Set in New Orleans, this important and powerful novel follows the Boisdoré family . . . in the months after Katrina. A profound, moving and authentically detailed picture of the storm’s emotional impact on those who lived through it.” —People In this dazzling debut about family, home, and grief, C. Morgan Babst takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city. As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic—the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself. This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed. The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told—one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.
