Story
Allegra ed entusiasta, oppure malinconica e afflitta. Bellissima e fragile, con lo sguardo appena velato da “certi pensieri soffocati”. Così Federica racconta sua madre, la “fantasmagorica mamma bionda” dai gesti istrionici, dal portamento elegante e disinvolto attraverso cui traspare, in filigrana, un’irrimediabile insicurezza. L’autrice scava nella memoria per comporre il ritratto tenero e disincantato di una donna tutta luci e ombre, e al tempo stesso un tagliente spaccato di famiglia incorniciato nell’ambiente borghese di Roma.

Story
On the morning of 12 August 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black–black clothes, black mask–rushed down the aisle towards him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it’s you. Here you are. What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond.

Story
Sachchidanand Hirananda Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' is unarguably one of the most remarkable figures of Indian literature. From his revolutionary youth to acquiring the mantle of a (highly controversial) patron saint of Hindi literature, Agyeya's turbulent life also tells a history of the Hindi literary world and of a new nation—spanning as it does two world wars, Independence and Partition, and the building and fraying of the Nehruvian state.
