Four books worth mentioning, collected according to my literary tastes as always and also out of curiosity. Three of the authors are Italian, while two are not. The genres of these books are various, we go from fantasy to apocalyptic, from horror to travel document. Malapunta by Morgan Perdinka MalapuntaThere is a small island between Tuscany and Corsica, similar to a granite spear, which pierces the Mediterranean and points threateningly at the sky. On that island you dream. A man who has lost love and just wants to let himself die. A group of people who make survival their creed. An illegal immigrant who grew up in the sewers of Bucharest. A visionary scientist and a strange experiment.
A horrible crime, among the ruins of the ancient Druids. And the End of the World. Morgan Perdinka's masterpiece, written in 2003 - four years before the author's mysterious suicide -, published for Special Data the first time, rediscovered and presented by the maestro Danilo Arona. Malapunta by Morgan Perdinka Curator: Danilo Arona Editions XII 360 pages July 2011 Goetia by Riccardo Coltri GoetiaIn the Italy of the future, new myths were born. One of these speaks of a strange shamanism that developed over the years, after a war that reduced the known territories to piles of rubble, ruined neighborhoods and gutted buildings.
Entities are awakened in villages of sheet metal and scrap through blood sacrifices and symbols traced on the ground, but also through words locked in old electronic devices that are still functioning, such as laptops and ebook readers: the grimoires of the new time. In what remains of a province moves Cleffi, a soldier of the Scuola del Mattino, a violent young man with a long training behind him. For him, accustomed to brawls in the dormitories and fighting in the arenas, the time has come to join the patrols. With a helmet and a gun, Cleffi runs through what remains of the suburbs to track down rioters, but begins to notice some writings on the walls and strange vagrants who, over makeshift clothes, wear beast skins and plastic and bone amulets. And suddenly he finds himself wondering why, in that now dead world, goetia is considered by some to be the last remaining solution.
