Niente di vero by Veronica Raimo

Non capisco quanto sia difficile ammettere in Italia di star facendo autofiction e non un romanzo di fiction. Perché come per Alderton o Bignardi questo libro che doveva essere fresco ed innovativo è un libro di autofiction. Sulla scia delle autrici sopracitate vengono raccontati in modo ironico e sprezzante momenti ed episodi della vita dell'autrice.

È uno di quei libri che tenta di raccogliere questi anettoti con un comun denominatore. Solo che se Alderton parlava della sua vita amorosa e Bignardi raccontava attraverso le proprie letture. Il denominatore qui è l'irrealtà o meglio l'assurdità di certi eventi comunque possibili in realtà.

È uno di quei libri che sono utili nella loro esperienza di lettura per creare un risultato di intrattenimento, ma che alla fine portano lo stesso impatto di una biografia abbellita di storytelling.

This book is built on features that I generally speaking avoid - coming of age, no plot, disconnected scenes, no progress or resolution. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

This was written beautifully and skillfully. The scenes were not actually disconnected pieces of random text, and even without a clear resolution, it left me with a feeling of completeness. I kind of disagree with the coming of age aspect as the narrator is reflecting on her past as an adult.

I read this in maybe two or three days and loved every page. For me, the best aspect was the humor, which really worked with my sense of humor.

mi sono rivista in questa storia come quando lavandoti la faccia apri gli occhi allo specchio: sfocata e non proprio identica, ma sicuramente un’immagine familiare.
l’ho percepito come un libro-catarsi, che vuole esorcizzare, bruciare e purificare; in cui la nebbia dei ricordi e la distorsione che la mente ne fa rendono ogni racconto, ogni aneddoto, ogni parola inaffidabili e incerti.
avevo estremamente bisogno di questo libro.
