Altre Concupiscenze by Giorgio Manganelli edited by Salvatore Silvano Nigro published by Adelphi is a great book if you love books and reviews, because it will be inspiring, it will let you reflect
and maybe you'll discover new authors, or you will "read" them thanks to the words of Giorgio Manganelli under another perspective.
What after all we do with our modest work? Although we haven't written the book, we try to see the best in every page of every book so that people will be intrigued and will buy the book in question.
A reviewer is, as also writes Manganelli a passionate animal, someone lost in the pages he reads: the reviewer in general must try to find the originalities of a book underlying that peculiarities.
Reviews you'll read, are mainly literary ones: profound, felt, more than the description of the book there is the essence that the work inspired to Giorgio.
I found thrilling, interesting reading his reviews of books by Nabokov, Swift, Yeats, Calasso, Ennio Flaiano, Jack London.
Beautiful.
