Il Virginian era un piroscafo. Negli anni tra le due guerre faceva la spola tra Europa e America, con il suo carico di miliardari, di emigranti e di gente qualsiasi. Dicono che sul Virginian si esibisse ogni sera un pianista straordinario, dalla tecnica strabiliante, capace di suonare una musica mai sentita prima, meravigliosa. Dicono che la sua storia fosse pazzesca, che fosse nato su quella nave e che da li non fosse mai sceso. Dicono che nessuno sapesse il perche. Questo racconto, nato come monologo teatrale, e uscito per la prima volta nel 1994. Nel 1998 Giuseppe Tornatore ne ha tratto il film "La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano".

LAntoni es dirigeix a una entitat bancaria per demanar un credit personal, pero quan el director de la oficina veu que no pot oferir cap tipus de garantia ni daval per tornar-lo, decideix denegar-lhi. Davant daquesta negativa, lAntoni no es conforma i fa una proposta molt desconcertant al director. El credit es, en paraules de Sergi Belbel, una gran comedia sobre leconomia, la crisi, la desesperacio, la fragilitat de les vides humanes i, tambe, encara que no ho sembli a primera vista, sobre les estranyes i insondables relacions de parella.Si a El metode Gronholm Galceran feia una disseccio, en clau dhumor, del que estem disposats a fer els humans per aconseguir una feina, a El credit ens planteja quin es el limit huma davant de la desesperacio economica.

Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.

Millennial expat couple Anna and Tom are living the dream in Berlin, in a bright, affordable, plantfilled apartment. Their life as young digital creatives revolves around slow cooking, Danish furniture, sexual experimentation and the citys twentyfourhour party scene an ideal existence shared by an entire generation and tantalizingly lived out on social media. But beyond the images, dissatisfaction and ennui burgeon. Work becomes repetitive. Friends move back home, have children, grow up. Frustrated that their progressive politics amount to little more in practice than boycotting Uber, tipping in cash, or never eating tuna, Anna and Tom make a fruitless attempt at political activism. Feeling increasingly trapped in their pictureperfect life, the couple takes ever more radical steps in the pursuit of an authenticity and a sense of purpose perennially beyond their grasp. Superbly translated by Sophie Hughes, Vincenzo Latronicos Perfection is a taut, spare sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, scathing and brilliantly affecting.
