Williams Joy
L'ospite d'onore. Racconti scelti
br. "Poco nota in Italia, Joy Williams è universalmente riconosciuta come una delle maestre del racconto americano insieme a scrittori come Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Grace Paley e Ann Beattie. 'L'ospite d'onore' riunisce gran parte dei racconti, alcuni apparsi in precedenti raccolte, altri inediti, composti dall'autrice nell'arco di quasi cinquant'anni. Le sue storie ruotano tutte intorno a un momento di trasformazione, che spesso ha luogo al di fuori della pagina scritta e di cui intravediamo solo un barlume: il mistero ribolle in superficie, per un istante, e poi torna a inabissarsi. Il mondo di Joy Williams è pervaso di un orrore esistenziale, che tuttavia trova redenzione in lampi di feroce umorismo. Che siano ambientate nei paesaggi riarsi del sud-ovest, in una piccola isola al largo delle coste del New England o del Massachusetts, o ancora, in un'auto malconcia che sfreccia su un'interstatale polverosa, le sue storie mettono a nudo l'inadeguatezza umana dinanzi al cambiamento e alla perdita. Leggerle è come affacciarsi sull'orlo di un precipizio: spaventoso e al contempo illuminante".

Le divoratrici
ril. Questa è la storia di una fame che non va mai via. E di Roberta, che vive cercando di non occupare spazio. A quasi trent'anni è bloccata in un lavoro senza senso. Un giorno conosce Stevie, è libera e pericolosa. Diventano amiche, vanno a vivere insieme. Poi inventano il Supper Club. Un collettivo di donne stanche di sentirsi dire che devono parlare meno, mangiare meno, costare meno, essere meno. Ma più il club diventa popolare e sovversivo, più Roberta è costretta a riconciliarsi con la vulnerabilità del proprio corpo - e quel passato che ha lavorato così duramente per reprimere. "Le divoratrici" è una storia che parla della fame di vivere. Un romanzo sul crescere e trovare il proprio posto nel mondo.

Williams Niall
Quattro lettere d'amore
br. Nicholas Coughlan ha dodici anni quando Dio parla per la prima volta con suo padre, un impiegato statale di Dublino perennemente vestito di grigio. Il discorso è breve e perentorio: l'uomo deve lasciare il lavoro e dedicarsi anima e corpo alla pittura. A nulla valgono le obiezioni di sua moglie, una donnina piccola e minuta con vivaci occhi castani: William Coughlan, uomo di poche parole, non trova nulla da replicare, se non un laconico «devo». Una parola che si abbatte con brutale violenza sull'esistenza di Nicholas e di sua madre. Su un'isola nell'ovest dell'Irlanda, uno squisito drappo intessuto di luce marina e sabbia, vive Isabel Gore, l'anima gemella di Nicholas, ancora ignara del legame che il destino ha approntato per lei e il figlio di William Coughlan. Dopo la scuola lei e suo fratello Sean, una di quelle creature di cui Dio si serve per svelare la musica del creato, si recano all'altro capo dell'isola dove, nel silenzio e nella bellezza maestosa di quel lembo estremo di terra, possono immaginarsi sovrani di un fantastico regno di violinisti e poeti. Isabel danza sul margine del roccione seguendo le note del fratello, al ritmo sempre più frenetico e vorticoso del violino, fino a quando la musica cessa di colpo. Sean giace a terra, gli occhi arrovesciati e il corpo irrigidito sulla roccia. La musica si è dileguata e lui è rimasto muto e inutile come uno strumento accantonato. La convinzione che sia stata la sua danza selvaggia a causare il male del fratello non abbandonerà mai Isabel, graverà come un peso ineliminabile sulla sua vita e sulle sue successive scelte di giovane donna. Nicholas e Isabel: due anime forti, forgiate da un'infanzia fatta di sogni svaniti e di una sorte crudele, due anime destinate ad amarsi come raramente accade ai comuni mortali.

Storia della pioggia
br. Ruth Swain, viso affilato, labbra sottili, pelle pallida incapace di abbronzarsi, lettrice di quasi tutti i romanzi del diciannovesimo secolo, figlia di poeta giace a letto, in una mansarda sotto la pioggia, "al margine tra questo e l'altro mondo". Un giorno è svenuta al college, e da allora, malata, trascorre le sue ore in compagnia dei libri ereditati dal padre. Romanzi, racconti e versi attraverso i quali si avventura su sentieri sconosciuti, apprende cose che pochi sanno: che Dickens, ad esempio, soffriva d'insonnia e di notte passeggiava per i cimiteri; o, ancora, che da giovane Stevenson aveva attraversato la Francia dormendo sotto le stelle, in compagnia di un'asina. Mentre la pioggia batte sul tetto della mansarda, Ruth rovista così tra i libri e legge e raduna attorno a sé tutto quello che può: la vecchia edizione arancione di Moby Dick della Penguin, la copia di Ragione e sentimento con il ritratto di Jane con la cuffietta in testa, le memorie del Reverendo, il bisnonno che nella sua mente assomiglia al vecchio Gruffandgrim di Grandi speranze, gli appunti di Abraham, il nonno, che anziché abbracciare la chiamata del Signore abbracciò quella della pesca al salmone, i quaderni da bambino su cui Virgil, figlio di Abraham e suo amato genitore, annotava con la matita le sue poesie. Storie che, come tutte le storie, si raccontano e si leggono per scacciare il male di vivere o, come nel caso di Ruth, per mantenersi ancora "al margine tra questo e l'altro mondo".

Williams Raymond
Terra di confine
br. Harry Price ha lavorato per anni come ferroviere nel villaggio gallese di confine di Gynmawr. Quando viene colpito da un infarto, suo figlio Matthew, ricercatore a Oxford, fa ritorno nella piccola e chiusa comunità in cui era cresciuto prima di recarsi a Londra per laurearsi. Mentre Harry giace in camera sua in una silenziosa sofferenza, il figlio rivive i giorni della sua infanzia e dell'adolescenza, rendendosi conto di quanto i lunghi anni trascorsi a Londra lo abbiano allontanato dalle sue radici. Anche Gynmawr sta cambiando. La vecchia stazione ferroviaria è in procinto di essere chiusa, le nuove regole del mercato hanno cambiato la mentalità delle persone e il paesaggio. Morgan, il migliore amico e compagno di lotte del padre durante lo sciopero ferroviario, oggi è divenuto un ricco industriale. Malgrado ciò, anche grazie al recuperato rapporto con Harry, Matthew cerca di rintracciare dentro di sé quei valori e quella cultura, che lo hanno reso quel che è oggi.

Williams Tennessee
L'innocenza delle caramelle
brossura In questi racconti Tennessee Williams ci porta nella sua America, una terra generosa e traditrice dove l'umanità più varia gioca le sue carte al tavolo di un destino baro e beffardo. I protagonisti sono anime perse, derelitte: poeti, attori, donne che attendono e uomini che si perdono, giovani squattrinati e affittacamere, donne di strada e gigolò. È in questa raccolta che nascono le storie che faranno di Tennessee Williams una delle penne più celebrate del teatro mondiale (dal racconto "Ritratto di ragazza in vetro" verrà tratto il dramma "Lo zoo di vetro"). In queste pagine troverete tutta l'abilità, il senso del dramma, le atmosfere e lo stile di uno degli autori più raffinati di sempre. Il ritratto di un'America dolente e spietata che ancora oggi conserva intatta tutta la sua forza.

Williams Thomas
Due estati
br. La giovinezza è come l'estate: una stagione breve e selvaggia. Anche in una cittadina come Leah, circondata dal silenzio dei boschi del New Hampshire. In un anno, il 1948, nel quale risuonano ancora gli echi di una guerra che ha sconvolto il mondo. Dory Perkins ha diciassette anni, e quel ragazzo che si è infilato di soppiatto nella sua stanza, passando dalla finestra, lo conosce da sempre, e da sempre è innamorata di lui. Lui, John Hearne, ne ha ventuno, studia all'università, ed è stato in guerra. Le case delle loro famiglie confinano sul retro, i due cortili adiacenti: quella di lui affaccia su Union Street, dove le abitazioni sono più belle e la gente più ricca; quella di lei su Water Street, dove ogni mattina suo padre esce per andare a consegnare la posta. L'amore fra i due giovani è fisico, travolgente, ma dura il tempo di pochi giorni. Una mattina lui parte in sella alla sua moto verso ovest. Lei rimane. Con la sola promessa che lui tornerà per sposarla. Due estati narrate in parallelo - una duplice storia di formazione, femminile e maschile, che diventa spaccato di un'epoca e di una generazione.
