Cold borsch *

* Cold borch

And perhaps for this reason it is read more by women than by men. Because we feel more involved, more empathetic with Minù, the aristocratic but unfortunate protagonist.
“It was raining the night my father changed the course of my life“[1]
And it was raining the night my mother handed me this book one autumn evening eight years ago. This book was recommended to her in turn by a friend, to whom her mother had given it as a gift, who had read a good review: the writer Benedetta Cibrario [2] was awarded the Campiello Prize in 2008 – and so on …
From woman to woman, this novel has come to me. I think it is a coincidence that no possessor of the Y chromosome has been mentioned, since it is a novel with no pretense of ending up in the “pink” category. A category, among other things, that I don’t particularly appreciate.
And then why pink ? Couldn’t they have been orange novels? Blue or emerald?
Bah.
I take some Rossovermiglio from the cellar…

“Eppure, la memoria ci dice che questo è quello che si è stati, e ci sommerge un rimpianto che non sappiamo cancellare”.[7]
E pioveva la sera che mia madre mi porse questo libro una sera d’autunno di ormai otto anni fa. Questo libro le era stato consigliato a sua volta da una amica, a cui lo aveva regalato la madre, che aveva letto una buona recensione: la scrittrice Benedetta Cibrario[2] si è aggiudicata nel 2008 il Premio Campiello– e così via…
Di donna in donna, questo romanzo è arrivato a me. Credo sia un caso che nessun possessore di cromosoma Y sia stato citato, poiché è un romanzo senza alcuna pretesa di finire della categoria “rosa”. Una categoria, tra l’altro, che non apprezzo particolarmente.
E poi perché rosa[3]? Non potevano essere romanzi arancioni? Blu o smeraldo?
Bah.
Prendo del Rossovermiglio[4] dalla cantina per far onore al nome del libro, e mi accomodo in…

I recommend you watch it with friends because the life of Liv and her groups is full of adventures to comment on, starting with my favorite part: every time she eats a brain, she takes on the personality of its previous owner. So, we will see her serious and studious, or alcoholic, or brazen or shy. And these sudden personality changes take the narrative to a level of great performance for actress Rose McIver and pure enjoyment for the viewer.
Since I have Netflix, I have started to diverge a lot in the choice of TV series, if with generalist TV I was in fact a bit forced to choose between teen drama and crime, now I have any genre at my disposal.
So, while the infernal heat was imminent since June, I looked for something different, funny but also with a good plot, and with a length that was not excessive (like GOT“Power, Seduction, Wine… other Wiiiine!!!”) but not even minimal (like New Girl).
So, I saw the iZombie icon by chance, and I must say I was very skeptical. The zombie stories are not exactly my favorite ones, because they tend to duplication and refer to each other, so watched one, watched all! Furthermore, a few months earlier I had tried to watch The Walking Dead with my friends Federica and Anna with very poor…

Vi consiglio di guardarlo in compagnia perché la vita di Liv e dei suoi amici è ricca di avventure da commentare, a partire dalla mia parte preferita: lei che ogni volta che mangia un cervello assume la personalità del suo precedente proprietario. Perciò la vedremo seriosa e studiosa, oppure alcolista, o sfacciata oppure timida. E questi repentini cambi di individualità, porta la narrazione a un livello di grande performance per l’attrice Rose McIver e di puro divertimento per lo spettatore
Da quando ho Netflix ho cominciato a variare molto nella scelta di serie tv, se con la tv generalista infatti ero un po’ obbligata a scegliere fra teen drama e crime, adesso ho a mia disposizione qualsivoglia genere.
Così, mentre il caldo infernale si affacciava fin da giugno, ho cercato qualcosa di diverso, di divertente ma che avesse anche una trama, e con una durata non eccessiva (tipo GOT) ma nemmeno minima (tipo New Girl).
Così sono capitata per caso sull’icona di iZombie, e devo dire che ero molto scettica. Le storie di zombie non sono esattamente le mie favorite, perché tendono a ripetersi e richiamarsi l’una con l’altra, per cui vista una, viste tutte! Inoltre pochi mesi prima avevo tentato di guardare The Walking Dead con le mie amiche Federica e Anna con scarsissimi risultati, tanto da averla miseramente abbandonata alla fine della prima stagione (anche se…

During a conversation at the home of mutual acquaintances, a man tells the protagonist Baptiste Bordave a kind of macabre anecdote, and advises him to pretend, in case someone dies accidentally in his house, that he was missing during the transport to the hospital, to avoid legal complications. . The next day a stranger shows up at his house and asks him for permission to call because the car stopped due to a breakdown; but suddenly dies while on the phone. Struck by the coincidence with the conversation of the previous day, Baptiste does not ask for help, indeed from the documents of the dead man he discovers that his name is Olaf Sildur, he is Swedish and lives in Versailles. He takes possession of his Jaguar and reaches a luxury villa that gives him the idea of abandoning his insignificant life and assuming the identity of the deceased. The house is inhabited by Sildur’s wife, who gradually turns out to be a Frenchwoman whom the man saved from drug addiction. The wedding seems to be the cover for a job of welcoming guests passing through, probably secret agents, who alternate between one mission and another. Baptiste soon falls in love with the beautiful woman, who lives in an artificial intoxication caused by the large reserves of champagne in the villa. But Baptiste’s curiosity drives him to try to identify to whom Olaf Sildur made the last call from his home, attracting the attention of someone who perhaps wanted the landlord dead.
There she is, staring at me. Mocks me. “You are a reader of a hundred novels a year and yet you have never opened a book of mine”. I hear her whisper. And maybe someone could take me for crazy but I have always talked to books with books. I always thought that as they passed them they would call me to them. And often this is how I choose them.
Since I started working in the bookstore, imagine how many items …
Before you call a shrink and send me to recovery, know that books are my only addiction, so be cute and cuddly and indulge me.
Nothomb’s books have been changed shelves several times since I’ve been in the bookstore, one of my bosses suggested me over and over again to get one, but when I walked past I didn’t feel the right vibrations.
Until two days ago.
