“Sembravano grida. E un rumore basso, pauroso.
Mi sono convinta che fosse il respiro della volpe,
il verso che le usciva dai denti azzannando il collo delle galline.
Mia zia diceva che non era possibile e che me l’ero sognato, ma me lo ricordo ancora oggi, chiarissimo: come un rimbombo. Quando mi mandavano in chiesa e il prete parlava del male, io pensavo sempre a quel rumore lì. Come l’acqua sottoterra, hai presente?”
Dopo La memoria della cenere, Chiara Marchelli torna con un romanzo costruito con rara maestria, un’indagine poliziesca intrecciata alle radici storiche della follia. In un racconto mozzafiato, dove il passato sboccia nel presen- te come un fiore velenoso, l’autrice si immerge nella fragilità dell’animo femminile, che nella fame di libertà e perfezione ha sempre cercato il riscatto dall’infelicità e dal male inflitto e subìto.
Questo libro è per la natura ambigua del desiderio.
Chiara Marchelli è nata ad Aosta e si è laureata in Lingue Orientali a Venezia. È autrice di romanzi, una raccolta di racconti e un saggio su New York, la città dove vive.

Roni Horn is an artist and writer whose books include Another Water, Wonderwater (Alice Offshore), Weather Reports You, and Roni Horn aka Roni Horn.
Her oeuvre focuses on conceptually oriented photography, sculpture, books and drawing. Since 1975, Horn has traveled extensively in the more remote landscapes of Iceland – these solitary experiences have long been important influences in her life and work. Literature and Horn’s prodigious reading have had a similarly profound impact on her work across various media. The sculpture is often paired or doubled, as are the drawings and photographs.
Horn lives and works in New York City. Recent solo exhibitions include: Tate Modern, Whitney Museum of American Art, Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Bregenz, Kunsthalle Hamburg, Kunsthalle Basel, Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona, De Pont Foundation, Tilburg, Fondation Beyeler, Glenstone Museum, Potomac, MD, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and The Drawing Institute at The Menil Collection, Houston, TX.
Ragnar Kjartansson
Ragnar Kjartansson draws on the entire arc of art in his performative practice. The history of film, music, theatre, visual culture and literature find their way into his video installations, durational performances, drawing and painting. Pretending and staging become key tools in the artist’s attempt to convey sincere emotion and offer a genuine experience to the audience.
Kjartansson’s work has been exhibited widely. Recent solo exhibitions and performances have been held at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, Barbican Art Gallery in London, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, Reykjavik Art Museum, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and New Museum in New York. In 2011, he was the recipient of Performa’s 2011 Malcolm McLaren Award for his performance ‘Bliss’. In 2009, Kjartansson represented Iceland at the Venice Biennale, and in 2013 his work was featured at the Biennale’s main exhibition, The Encyclopedic Palace. Kjartansson was born in 1976 in Reykjavi´k and studied at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and The Royal Academy, Stockholm

Singular Sensation: The Triumph of Broadway
The extraordinary story of a transformative decade on Broadway, featuring gripping behind-the-scenes accounts of shows such as Rent, Angels in America, Chicago, The Lion King, and The Producers--shows that changed the history of the American theater. The 1990s was a decade of profound change on Broadway. At the dawn of the nineties, the British invasion of Broadway was in full swing, as musical spectacles like Les Miserables, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera dominated the box office. But Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard soon spelled the end of this era and ushered in a new wave of American musicals, beginning with the ascendance of an unlikely show by a struggling writer who reimagined Puccini's opera La Bohème as the smash Broadway show Rent. American musical comedy made its grand return, culminating in The Producers, while plays, always an endangered species on Broadway, staged a powerful comeback with Tony Kushner's Angels in America. A different breed of producers rose up to challenge the grip theater owners had long held on Broadway, and corporations began to see how much money could be made from live theater. And just as Broadway had clawed its way back into the mainstream of American popular culture, the September 11 attacks struck fear into the heart of Americans who thought Times Square might be the next target. But Broadway was back in business just two days later, buoyed by talented theater people intent on bringing New Yorkers together and supporting the economics of an injured city. Michael Riedel presents the drama behind every mega-hit or shocking flop, bringing readers into high-stakes premieres, fraught rehearsals, tough contract negotiations, intense Tony Award battles, and more. From the bitter feuds to the surprising collaborations, all the intrigue of a revolutionary era in the Theater District is packed into Singular Sensation. Broadway has triumphs and disasters, but the show always goes on.
Michael Riedel has been the theater columnist for the New York Post since 1998. New York magazine has called his column a "must-read" for the theater world. Michael began his radio career as regular on the Imus in the Morning show in 2011. In 2017 WOR, New York's oldest and highest-rated station, asked him to cohost its morning show with well-known sportscaster Len Berman. The LenBerman and Michael Riedel in the morning show is the highetst-rated program in the New York City area. Michael's book Razzle Dazzle: The battle for Broadway won the Marfield Prize for arts writing in 2015 and is widely considered to be the successor to William Goldman's celebrated 1967 book about Broadway, The Season. A graduate of Columbia University, Michael lives in the West Village.
Imogen Loyd Webber is an author, Emmy Award-winning British broadcaster and marketing and communication executive who has lived in New York City for 10 years. Educated at Girlon College, Cambridge University, where she read history, Imogen's latest book, The Intelligent Conversationalist, was published by St. martin's Press. She is currently an ABC News Contributor, a Broadway.com Contributor and a Senior Vice President at Concord Theatricals.

Godlis Streets is the first book dedicated to the artist and photographer's incredible body of work and focuses on the 1970s and 1980s.

About the book: An in-depth look at the design process of James Huniford, who is renowned for his skill in juxtaposing oppostites--contemporary with traditional, rustic with refined--to create a timeless whole. James Huniford, universally known as Ford, explores his design process thematically, with chapters on approaching a room, considering scale and proportion, selecting materials and art, using color effectively, and marrying form and function. His goal is to create a modern sensibility of calm. Of special interest is his ability to create artworks out of found objects, compositions of tools, baskets, or metalwork that become compelling wall sculptures or freestanding pieces. Examples are drawn from a rich variety of projects--elegant Upper East Side apartments to raw lofts on the Lower East Side to contemporary condominums in new supertall towers in Manhattan, country houses in Connecticut, Upstate New York, and Martha's Vineyard, and across the country in Nashville and Marin Country, California. Special insight into his process can be gleaned from his own homes, a loft in Tribeca and a historic house in Bridgehampton that he readily admits are laboratories for his ideas.
