Esecuzione - Angela Capobianchi

Elide Manin, professoressa, porta a spasso il cane nella pineta a sera inoltrata per evitare un vicino di casa attaccabrighe. Una pineta che l'ha sempre resa nervosa. E quella sera, mentre dalla casa della vicina villa Baratti si diffonde una melodia suonata al pianoforte, il cane di Elide richiama la sua attenzione su una macabra scoperta: il cadavere di una ragazza. Si tratta di Cecilia Rossi, diciassette anni, studentessa di liceo e di pianoforte presso Luisa Baratti. Una ragazza che pare non avere scheletri nell'armadio, ma che riporta in fronte un taglio orizzontale che sembra chiaramente un indizio lasciato dal suo aguzzino. Una vittima non scelta a caso, quindi.
Il commissario Conti, coadiuvato dall'ispettore Rocci e il resto della squadra, parte alla ricerca di questo killer, che continua ad uccidere altri studenti di Luisa Baratti, sempre lasciando un marchio particolare e diverso su ognuno di essi.

Mi chiedevo quante parole avrebbe speso un autore che fa scoprire il morto subito al primo capitolo per arrivare a ben 456 pagine; non avevo considerato l’ipotesi del serial killer. Invece la vicenda si rivela molto intrigante e ben dipanata, di piacevole lettura. I personaggi sono molti ma ben caratterizzati. All'assassino c'ero arrivata anche io, verso la fine, ma è stato molto bello seguire le argomentazioni del commissario. Commissario che come il novanta per cento dei suoi colleghi, è un uomo senza pace, con una famiglia disastrata e un pessimo carattere; si vede che questo stereotipo paga. Il libro mi è piaciuto molto. Non c'è una sola pagina in cui risulti noioso, anzi ha diversi interessanti colpi di scena che non vi svelo. Nonostante la ferocia del killer, riesce a non diventare troppo cruento, ed è un grande pregio.

Consigliatissimo a chi ama i gialli.

Ti ricordi di me? - Sophie Kinsella

Lexi ha passato una serata al karaoke con le amiche Carolyn, Debs e Fi. Sta disperatamente cercando un taxi perchè piove a dirotto. È stata una pessima giornata per lei: l'unica nel suo reparto a non aver avuto il bonus di produzione, bidonata dal suo ragazzo e l'indomani ci sarà il funerale del padre. Sfortunata, coi denti storti e le unghie mangiucchiate. All'ennesimo taxi che non si ferma, lo insegue ma scivola sul gradino bagnato e rovina a terra.

Si risveglia in ospedale, intontita. È fresca di parrucchiere, con le unghie curatissime, i denti perfetti, una borsa Louis Vuitton, un biglietto da visita in cui si scopre direttore del reparto in cui lavorava. E, soprattutto, sposata ad un bellissimo milionario che costruisce appartamenti in stile loft per ricconi. Ha avuto un incidente in auto cinque giorni prima. Ma Lexi non ricorda nulla degli ultimi tre anni, nulla dopo quella serata con le amiche.

La sua vita è totalmente cambiata e non si ritrova per niente nei panni di questa donna manager che indossa solo colori come nero e beige, e che vive in una casa iper tecnologica dove ha un divano da diecimila sterline! 

A poco a poco, Lexi prova a dipanare il vuoto che ha colpito la sua memoria, scoprendo che nel suo cambiamento ha perso le amiche di un tempo ed ha addirittura un amante per il quale voleva lasciare il marito!

 

Il libro è piuttosto divertente e scorrevolissimo. Leggendolo mi sembrava di vedere le scene come se stessi guardando un film. Sicuramente non è un capolavoro della letteratura, ma un ottimo libro leggero con cui rilassarsi.

Non vi racconto troppo o perdete il divertimento di vedere come va la vicenda.

Kitchen - Banana Yoshimoto

 

“Non c'è posto al mondo che io ami più della cucina”.

Ecco un altro di quei libri di cui ho sentito parlare un sacco e che appena l'ho chiuso mi sono detta... “mah”.

Intanto è diviso in tre “capitoli”, diciamo così. I primi due legati tra loro, il terzo che non c'entra niente. Infatti mi sono chiesta “perchè??”

Filo conduttore di tutti i racconti è il dolore per la perdita di qualcuno di caro, il senso di vuoto che rimane dentro e congela la vita. Almeno finchè qualcuno ci aiuta a venir fuori da questo intorpidimento.

Mikage, orfana dei genitori, perde anche l'unica parente ancora in vita, la nonna. Yuichi le propone di andare a vivere con lui e con sua madre Eriko, che in realtà è il padre che ha cambiato sesso per occuparsi del figlio dopo la morte della moglie. Una famiglia un po' fuori dalla norma, nella quale Mikage si trova pienamente accolta e riesce a lenire un po' il dolore di essere da sola. Poi muore Eriko, assassinata da un fanatico, e allora, oltre al suo personale dolore, è Mikage che aiuta Yuichi a non scappare dal dolore ma affrontarlo insieme a lei.

Nella terza storia i personaggi sono altri. Satsuki perde il fidanzato Hitoshi che muore in un incidente. E ancora è il dolore che la fa da padrone, il dolore che non ci fa andare avanti per quanto fa male. La terza storia mi lascia un po' perplessa in effetti, anche per questa atmosfera “mezza magica”.

Non so, lo trovo carino, molto veloce da leggere, con personaggi ben caratterizzati. Ma non mi ha lasciato molto come emozione. Anche se una frase mi è piaciuta molto, e la credo molto vera: “a piegarci non sono le circostanze o una forza esterna, la sconfitta ci colpisce dall'interno”.

Elizabeth Costello - J. M. Coetzee

Elizabeth Costello è una scrittrice australiana 66enne, famosa per un romanzo intitolato “the house on Eccles Street” in cui dà voce a Molly Blooom protagonista del romanzo Ulysse di James Joyce. Per questo libro, che è considerato un capolavoro, viene invitata in giro per il mondo a fare conferenze, nelle quali anziché parlare del libro, affronta invece argomenti seri e spesso provocatori.

Il libro è una specie di raccolta di mini saggi travestito da romanzo. Coetzee ha in pratica “sfruttato” il suo personaggio per parlare di alcuni argomenti che evidentemente gli stavano a cuore.

Non è il mio genere di lettura e l'ho trovato abbastanza noioso. L'idea era anche interessante, di questa scrittrice che fa conferenze, ma gli argomenti e soprattutto lo stile, abbastanza pesante anche se sintetico, con cui vengono affrontati proprio mi ha fatto sperare di arrivare in fondo per riportarlo in biblioteca. Peccato perchè la scrittura di Coetzee è bella pulita, grammaticalmente non c'è una virgola fuori posto. Poi in più di un punto dice cose del tipo “ma adesso saltiamo a quest'altro momento”, “ma di questo non ne parliamo”, e lo trovo abbastanza fastidioso...

La mia sfida delle sfide - 1001 libri

Qualche anno fa, non tanti, sono incappata in un libro il cui titolo era "1001 libri da leggere prima di morire" di un certo Peter Boxall, insegnante di Inglese. In internet si trovava agevolmente la lista dei libri che secondo questo professore avevano queste caratteristiche e me la sono guardata. E' una lista dominata da scrittori anglo-americani, gli italiani mi pare siano meno di venti, e comunque mancano grossi nomi della nostra letteratura. 

Al di là di questo "dettaglio", la lista dei libri è diventata la mia "sfida delle sfide", e quando riesco attingo da essa per leggere autori che probabilmente non avrei mai letto per conto mio. 

Nonostante non la consideri esauriente (diciamocelo, la credo tendenzialmente "di parte"), ammetto che alcuni dei libri che ho conosciuto grazie a questa lista sono stati veramente delle piacevoli scoperte. I primi che mi vengono in mente: "Stupore e tremori" di Amelie Nothomb e "Fiorirà l'aspidistra" di George Orwell.

Ad oggi, 03 luglio 2013, ho letto 40 libri su 1001!! (a meno che non me ne sia scappato qualcuno visto che tutti i titoli sono in inglese...). Comunque, libro più libro meno, mi mancano 961 libri.

Se io riuscissi a leggere un libro a settimana, quindi 52 in un anno, ci metterei 18 anni a completare la lista. Rimanendo invece coi piedi per terra, perchè un ritmo del genere non lo terrò mai (e visto anche tutti i libri interessanti fuori dalla lista... e quanto ci metto a scrivere la recensione..), considerando diciamo un libro al mese potrei impiegarci 80 anni!! Il che mi porta a considerare l'idea che non la completerò prima di morire eh eh, a meno di non voler fare a gara in età con Matusalemme :-D 

A complicare poi la mia impresa, c'è il fatto che praticamente ogni due anni, questo professor Boxall provvede a far uscire una edizione rivisitata dell'elenco. Attualmente mi risulta che il libro sia stato riedito almeno 3 volte dopo la prima edizione del 2006, portando i libri citati a circa 1300; leggevo questa notizia in un blog in cui sono capitata per caso e dove l'autrice era una dei fan di questa "serie".

Va beh, che riesca o meno a completarla, rimane un valido spunto per quando voglio leggere qualcosa di "classico" ;-)

Questi sono le liste dei libri delle varie edizioni. Le ho trovate in internet, quindi spero siano corrette!!
