The second dozen titles chosen by the Friends of Sunday have been unveiled: among the plots, stories of suffering but also a different look at the relationship between nature and man
more exciting is the first presentation of a book that has cost you years of suffering and toil, or the day you receive the endorsement of a great reader, one who takes the trouble to nominate you for a literary prize? We should ask the authors of the second wave (after the first on February 8) of books selected for the 2022 Strega Award, revealed on Tuesday 15 February by the organizers of the challenge that will end on 7 July next with the proclamation of the winner or the winner in the Nymphaeum of Villa Giulia, in Rome.
With the second round of cards delivered by the Amici della Domenica (the members of the historical core of the jury), two other novels published by Mondadori (after the two in the first dozen) arrive in the shortlist: And then we’ll be safefrom Alessandra Caratipresented by Andrea Vitali, e Because they don’t know from Darius Buzzolan, presented by Paolo Mieli. Family saga and Bildungsroman, And then we’ll be safe, promises to amaze: Carati masterfully brings us to live the events of a family of fugitives who are consumed under the flood of nostalgia … who crumbled by anger, who crushed by the weight of unbearable secrets. And he has already won the Viareggio Rpaci 2021 award. And the story of a tormented family, of the relentless search for a nephew believed to have disappeared, even Because they don’t know by Buzzolan.
In the challenge between publishing houses that underlies the organization of the Witch, La nave di Teseo scores two new points, already in pre-selection with two other titles. In fact, his followers enter this round: Our best from Alessio Forgione, presented by Wanda Marasco e The part of Malvasia from Gilda Policastro, presented by Romana Petri. The selection and signaling work started last February 1st continues with Diego da Silva presenting and candid Nova from Fabio Bac (Adelphi).
A writer who mixes the spoken dialect with the harsh words of German also enters the great literary game, Puglia in Berlin: it took him 5 years Mario Desiati To write Expatriates (Einaudi) – who is now playing the chance to reach the dozen candidates for the Strega (the selection on the initial squad that could reach 60 titles) – he who moved from Martina Franca to Germany; Alessandro Piperno reported it. Enter the expected return of Antonio Pascale,

On the other hand, the 28-year-old will be among the candidates Giorgio Ghiotti, young writer, poet and journalist, with his Proceedings of a missed farewell (Hacca), it was Sandra Petrignani (who was among the five finalists at the Strega in 2018, third most voted) who chose a story made of youth the moment before it fades; of presences understood through the shortcomings.
The choice of Elisabetta Rasy fell instead on late! (Wojtek) di Eduardo Savarese – magistrate, international law scholar, writer and collaborator of Corriere del Mezzogiorno — which leads readers to discover seven opera heroines – from Carmen to Madama Butterfly – and their interpreters, investigating between private and public. Among the new entries in the Strega nominations, another book published by Wojtek should be mentioned, When the beasts arrive from Alfredo Palomba, already in the running for the Witch 2020 (then with his Theories of the deep understanding of things). The beasts are those that appear at school against those who work for the insertion of different pupils. And finally: Judith
