Andy Griffith (1926-2012) is one of North Carolina's most beloved exports, capturing America's heart as Sheriff Andy Taylor. Evan Dalton Smith was born in the North Carolina Piedmont over four decades after Andy, just an hour south of Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy. Both were small-town boys who grew up in similar places, where the counties were dry and the churches plentiful. But for both, there was darkness, crushed hopes, and tragedy, hidden just below the surface.

Al liceo Pietro Minto odiava la matematica. O meglio: si sentiva odiato, perseguitato, escluso da quei simboli e quelle formule simili a rune misteriose. Come molti, ammettiamolo. E come molti, uscito dalla maturità con il proverbiale calcio nel sedere, è ben deciso a lasciarsi tutto alle spalle: numeri, problemi, conti che non tornano mai. Ma l'incontro mancato con la matematica rimane dentro di lui come una ferita non rimarginata, un tarlo che scava la sua via per uscire: ormai adulto decide allora di lanciarsi in un'impresa che ha qualcosa di folle, ma proprio per questo anche di esaltante.

Story
When Peter Schjeldahl, The New Yorker’s art critic and the leading art writer of his generation, published his eye-opening autobiographical essay, “The Art of Dying,” in December 2019, he reported that he had lung cancer and had been given six months of life. Fortunately, his treatment was showing some improvement, and so, he wrote, “These extra months are a luxury that I hope to have put to good use.”

Story
Alle wollen alt werden, niemand will alt sein. Der Widerspruch ist absurd, das Leiden daran real. Wie lernen wir, so gut wie möglich damit zurechtzukommen? Geht das, alt werden und ein erfülltes Leben führen? Mit ihren über 80 Jahren hat sich Elke Heidenreich mit dem Altwerden beschäftigt. Herausgekommen ist dabei ein Buch, wie nur sie es schreiben kann. Persönlich, ehrlich, doch nie gnadenlos, mit einem Wort: lebensklug. Sie denkt über ihr eigenes Leben nach, und das heißt vor allem, über ihre Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen. Im Alter trägt man die Konsequenzen für alles, was man getan hat.

Story
La condizione delle donne negli anni del femminismo, e quella degli ebrei e dello Stato di Israele; la bellezza e l’orrore di Roma, e la fragilità di una democrazia (la nostra) sempre sotto minaccia; alcuni scrittori da amare; alcuni film visti con l’occhio di scrittrice; le biografie di alcuni amici (Cesare Pavese, Felice Balbo); e poi, ancora, la nostra incertezza e la nostra necessità di scegliere; la memoria dell’infanzia, da decifrare, e la vita dei figli adulti, che suscita meraviglia e insicurezza. Questi trenta testi costituiscono il più multiforme e battagliero libro di Natalia Ginzburg.
