Boccardelli Review by Gianni Piazza Grande July / August 2008
"Luz was able to read the colors." Souls who "laddered" city living, raped, with "emphasis indelible," Loose in jazz that flirt with the wind. The Sing-selling shadows every night 'different physicality. " Hourglasses where the sand is a soul, "the ovaries into a tailspin," short stories of oysters and rubies, which is also Pierrette Pierrot, the celestial spheres, the old webbed feet, mirrors, mice, yellow eyes, the magic of the five - you know - part of the flowers ... "life as a twisted Moebius strip on the palm of your hand" and then vampires, spiders, albino moon hanging like loose buttons, clocks and watches sigh, wind roses, virgin sluts, cemeteries, shadows regulate the multiplication table of the three. There is "the salt of the tears and dreams of sugar," of course "the dogs are soaring above the rooftops messing swarms of flying cats' names should be read in reverse, and when the sky 'sneeze' wondered, "how the face of an old man who has just shot a saw."
Stop panic (or curious?). You're not falling into a acid trip in a Dali painting or between the notes ... (you do, everyone has their own "sand" music). You are precipitated - and a pleasure if you do not lack courage - in the pages of Guergana shaved, a name that will almost certainly have not heard (it's his first book) but if he continues to write so it will become a reference point for those who can no longer seasoned with stories of trite banal words.
The novel is called "Almalgrab or the mirror of Erised" (248 pages for 14 €) and is now well explain that the strange word in the title means "the hidden pars, the inner virtue." The published Silvia De Marchi in small bold necklace Mangroves (on page 3 explains the peculiarities of these plants with the roots "between land and water) where are located the works of writers and foreign writers" who have chosen the Italian language to express themselves '. Migrants between countries and cultures that sometimes handle the new language with amazing capabilities, such as the hitherto unknown Guergana shaved. What is presented as follows: born in Bulgaria in '67, a graduate in electronic engineering in Italy since '91 'on the crest of the great wave of migration, "domestic servant, tomato sauce ... Married fifteen years old, lives with three dogs and four cats in Maremma, "wise to slow the melting salt Argentario, Saturnia underground sulfur and mercury in red soil in search of Morellino Opera: a novel alternative ' . It seems to have immediately found work with a capital "because this" Amalgrab "hypnotized to the point that is to say thank you because of what she calls" the gift of childlike wonder. "
The plot? It 's like the modern grandchildren of Alice pass here and there among mirrors like Chinese boxes, and then fleeing from creating mazes. The characters are monads, dyads, triads and tetrads ... A puzzle? Yet as we all clear. A dark tale, which retrieves the immoral fascination and horror of the ancient myths with humans and animals mating, slipping into the mysteries of the Carnival (the world upside down), disrupting the time and numbers, the faults and virtues, menstruation el ' soul. Even the furniture and children gain weight disappear in the City comatose, inevitably, "the opening of Carnival."
must-read: if at least preferred in the literature that the wishes prevail over fear, that the really new and strange to drive out the old boring get caught by the hand shaved sorceress.
