Tre ciotole. Rituali per un anno di crisi
by Murgia MichelaEvery book by Michela Murgia is an event. This is a novel of interlocking stories. The distinct voices of the characters in these stories, all unknowingly linked, make this a book that is both intimate and universal, where the real protagonist is the time of radical change, the threshold of events that overturns the paradigm of every biography, when existence turns on a dime and nothing can stop it. One evening you sit down at the table and the life you knew is over. Sometimes it is a mourning, an injury, a dismissal, an illness, the loss of a certainty or a love, but always it is a change in the horizon of your hopes that leaves you no escape. Crossing that crisis line shows that sometimes the best response to a disaster that you do not control is a disaster that you do control, even if you are the one who generates it. In a state of grace, like the great narrator of Accabadora, Murgia writes a highly original book for all of us that refers to a constellation of other books. Fitzgerald’s The Crack-up, Herringel’s Zen in the Art of Archery, Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking.
