Story0
"'Io non so com'è la gente!' soleva ripetere don Marchino per lo meno una ventina di volte al giorno, insaccandosi nelle spalle e aprendo le mani a ventaglio davanti al petto, con gli angoli della bocca contratti in giù: 'Io non so com'è la gente!'".
"Benedizione" inizia così, con le parole di Don Marchino, parroco di campagna che sembra vivere in un mondo tutto suo, completamente indifferente a tutto quello che lo circonda. Ancora una volta Pirandello ci regala un piccolo grande gioiello, una novella che che ci mette di fronte all'assurdità della vita e della morte.

Story0
Franz Kafka is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most enigmatic geniuses of European literature. What happens when his idiosyncratic imagination meets some of the greatest literary minds writing in English across the globe today? From a future society who ask their AI servants to construct a giant tower to reach God; to a flat hunt that descends into a comically absurd bureaucratic nightmare; to a population experiencing a wave of unbearable, contagious panic attacks, these ten specially commissioned stories are by turns mind-bending, funny, unsettling and haunting.

The excoriating stories in Mark Doten's brilliant first collection dissect the pathological narratives that shape our culture and country. Narrated by a crosscutting array of White people, Doten's stories spotlight the self-serving logic through which their characters struggle to make sense of, and take control of, the narrative of our time.

The Novices of Lerna introduces the enigmatic fictions of Ángel Bonomini to English listeners for the first time. Shot through with wry humor and tender absurdity, these meditations on identity, surveillance, and isolation remain eerily prescient. The collection's central novella follows Ramon Beltra, an unambitious scholar who receives a mysterious invitation to a lucrative six-month fellowship at the University of Lerna in Switzerland.

Story0
A woman metamorphoses into a giant slug; another quite literally eats her heart out; a wasp falls in love with an orchid; and hair starts sprouting from the walls. These stories slip and slide between genres - from video games to fan fiction, body horror to choose-your-own-adventure - as characters cycle through giddying changes in gender, physiology, species, and identity. Collapsing boundaries between bodies and forms, these fictions interrogate the visceral, gross, and absurd.

Getting to the Shamrock Motel isn’t easy. It’s just off Concession #18, but you can’t get there through a sequence of lefts and rights. To find the Shamrock you have to be lost–not just on the map, but in your heart and soul. The Shamrock Motel does not accept reservations. The only way to get a room is by walking into the office and asking Rosemary, the owner/operator for one. Try not to stare at her hair.

From John Elizabeth Stintzi, the mind that created the daringly bizarre novel My Volcano, comes an electrifying collection of strange and dark tales. In the surreal, often precarious realities of Bad Houses, a doctor discovers a double-edged cure for the Ebola virus, a college student loses a different body part each time they return home for the summer, Midas's hairdresser strives to keep his secrets, and a young girl develops a fascination with the trolls who harvest her father's pumpkin patch. At once humourous and horrifying, these stories will inevitably take residence in your mind.

Terza raccolta di racconti di Buzzati (apparve nel 1954, dopo "I sette messaggeri" e "Paura alla Scala"), "Il crollo della Baliverna" evidenzia due dei temi fondamentali dello scrittore: il gioco del destino e delle coincidenze che imbrigliano l'uomo senza lasciargli scampo e la dimensione religiosa - sempre presente anche quando non è esplicitata nell'opera buzzatiana - intesa non come "fede", ma come unica possibilità per penetrare il mistero dell'essere. In questi trentasette racconti l'autore dà voce alle contraddizioni umane, alle infinite sfumature della libertà del singolo.

Stefano Benni sfida il racconto di genere e apre la porta dell'orrore. Lo fa con ironia, lo fa attingendo al grottesco, lo fa tuffandosi nel comico, lo fa tastando l'angoscia, lo fa, in omaggio ai suoi maestri, rammentandoci di cosa è fatta la paura. E finisce con il consegnarci una galleria di memorabili mostri. E allora ecco gli adolescenti senza prospettiva o speranza, ecco il Wenge - una creatura misteriosa che semina panico e morte -, ecco il plutocrate russo che vuole sbarazzarsi di un albero secolare, ecco una Madonna che invece di piangere ride, dolcemente sfrontata.

Franz Kafka nació en Praga el 3 de Julio de 1883, en el seno de una acomodada familia de comerciantes judíos de lengua alemana. A los 23 años se doctoró en derecho. Al año siguiente padeció los primeros síntomas de tuberculosis. A pesar de la enfermedad, de la hostilidad de su familia hacia su vocación literaria, de sus cinco tentativas matrimoniales frustradas y de su empleo de burócrata en una compañía de seguros, Franz Kafka se dedicó intensamente a la literatura. Su escritura se caracteriza por una síntesis entre el absurdo, la ironía y la lucidez.
