Matteo Poletti’s new book is out today with Sperling & Kupfer

A Wonderful Day for a Funeral

Matteo Poletti

Nemo is thirty years old and, to support himself, he works in his family’s funeral home as the one responsible for stretchers. As a matter of fact, he does his job so unenthusiastically and inattentively that more often than not he just causes problems, for the desperation of those uncles and cousins who work with him. He used to be a photography lover, but he abandoned his passion after putting some of his pictures on display – even though the public reacted reasonably well to the exhibit. That’s when he became unsociable, emotionless and indifferent and that’s when his uncontrollable and apprehensive family started to worry about him. One day, his job takes him to Novalesa, a small town located somewhere nearby Turin, to take care of the funeral of Aurora Vannelli Conticini, an old lady that he actually knew. Nemo, who lived in Novalesa for a while to attend a private highschool, is forced to think about his adolescence and to see his former teachers and
classmates again. Among them, there used to be Carlo, his best friend during those years, who disappeared when he was 17. Nobody has seen him since then. During Aurora’s funeral, Nemo gets to speak with her sister, Malvina, a slightly mad woman with a passion for spiritualism who, moved by guilt, is always talking about the past. Malvina thinks that her sister didn’t die a natural death, and foresees the same fate for herself. Her prophecy turns into reality when, a week later, she dies after a suspect fall caused by ice. Nemo, who saw a picture of Carlo in Aurora and Malvina’s house (picture that mysteriously disappeared shortly after), is convinced that Carlo’s disappearance ten years before and these two deaths are linked. It is to find out what happened to Carlo that he abandons his apathy and goes back to Novalesa. While looking for him, Nemo gets to evaluate and rethink about his past, his choices, his fears, his abandoned passions and his tired way of existing instead of actually living. Everything is still the same in that narrow-minded, suffocating place – full of prejudices, rules and rigidity – where conformists think of themselves as rulers, today just like ten years ago, although in fact their being moralists is just an act. However, Nemo’s investigation succeeds in upsetting that small community: regrets and remorse are unearthed and everyone is forced to deal with their past, their undisclosed desires and their lost opportunities. But, above all, the investigation allows Nemo to find his true self, to abandon the sloth he has been friend with for so long and to make peace with his creative muse.

Matteo Poletti was born in Susa in 1979. He graduated in History of Cinema at the DAMS course of Turin. He worked for some online magazines that are about cinema and he published an essay about Blake Edwards called “Il tocco della pantera” (2010, ed. Il Principe Costante). In 2006, he had his debut as a writer with some short, thriller stories that won a few literary contests. One of those stories, “Il cane di velluto”, got published in the series Gialli Mondadori.

In 2008, he was the winner of the literary contest “L’indizio Nascosto” with his thriller “Lo sguardo di Carola”, which got published the following year with “Terza Pagina Edizioni”.

In 2015, he won the Bukowski National Prize with his novel “Jam Session”, which got published in 2016 with “Giovane Holden Edizioni”. In 2016, one of his short stories won the contest “Parole Resistenti” held in Atessa (Chieti).
He is co-author of the blog “Restart”. He lives and works in Valsusa.

The book can be also bought on ibs.

INDIAN SUMMER

A snowstorm is about to hit a remote lake in North America. An Italian-Canadian young man is waiting for it, standing completely still by the window of his cottage. Peter Orlandi, that’s his name, came to live here in absolute solitude after his mother’s suicide. A suicide he witnessed without trying to stop her. The stillness of body and spirit seems to him like the right kind of weapon agaist the dangerous softness of the present world.
Yet nothing stays still for very long, and nobody can be alone forever.
All it takes is a brave postwoman who, in spite of the terrible snowstorm, delivers to him a telegram from Italy; all it takes is a half-sister, the obscure object of incestuous desire, who begs him to go back home; all it takes is the news that his father is terminally ill to break his stillness and make him return to his old family home. Thus Peter enters his father’s bedroom to suffocate him with a pillow, fully accepting the double role of victim and slayer. He is ready to make come true the omen that followed him during his voyage home: the sacrifice that turns a man into a handful of dust and allows the rest of his family to keep on living.


Second presentation of Casiraghi’s Estate indiana, Udine

When he was a boy, Peter felt for his sister Celeste something that brothers are not supposed to feel. It was to escape these feelings that he moved to the solitary banks of Dawn Lake, Canada. Everything changed when his father was involved in an accident and Peter was forced to cross those boundaries that had kept him away for so long. Estate indiana is an ‘on the road’ novel set in the one place known for his still, almost unreal time: the Indian summer.

Matilde editrice publishing house’s Sguardi differenti won two prizes

The Italian publishing house Matilda (formerly known as Mammeonline and client of our agency), won two awards during the eleventh edition of the National ‘Mariateresa Di Lascia’ Prize. Their book ‘Sguardi Differenti’ (Different Looks) was awarded with the Best Essay Prize and with the Unifg Prize – on whom these words can be read: “thought for women who look for new words to talk about a future that will not forget them”.

These words seem perfect for the book ‘Sguardi Differenti’, in that it is a collection of different female voices who talk about sexism, gender and the problems linked to being parents with simple words, but, at the same time, in a very scientific and deep way.


Fascial Release for Structural Balance got published in Italy

The book Fascial Release for Structural Balance, edited by North Atlantic Books (our client) and written by James Earls and Thomas Myers, got published in Italy last July. The Italian version, called Fascial release per il riequilibrio funzionale, has been published by Edi.Ermes.

This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference Fascial Release for Structural Balance brings the book up to date with all of the most current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body, and how treatment affects it. This edition takes advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function, making it an even more essential guide. Offering a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through “bodyreading,” the book features 150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique. The authors, both respected bodywork professionals, give any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy—including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists—the information they need to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients’ shape and structure.

Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the patient’s ongoing aches and pains, leading to rapid, effective, and lasting pain relief. James Earls and Thomas Meyers argue that approaching the fascia requires “a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques.”


Renzo Stefanel’s new book came out

Ancora sesso, droga e calci in bocca, published by Giunti and written by our Renzo Stefanel, is out at last.

 

This dazzling book, a sequel of Sesso, droga e calci in bocca (published by Giunti in 2016), is in fact a collection of peculiar stories: those of some of the most famous and discussed rock stars. In this book, the lives of Elvis, Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osbourne and many others are told with no censorship whatsoever.

Carlo Vanin, an author of our agency, took part in a very interesting project for Neo Edizioni: a book in favour of the legalization of cannabis in Italy.

 

 

 

 

 

This book, which is a collection of short stories written by many Italian authors, is surprising and moving at the same time. All the authors involved agreed to donate the money earned with their rights for this book to an Italian NGO fighting for freedom in scientific research: Associazione Luca Coscioni.

One of our Italian authors, Marilena Renda, has just published a book with the Italian publishing house Mesogea.

REGALI AI FANTASMI (Presents to ghosts)

An intriguing story, told in a very poetic and resonant prose, about two orphaned sisters from Sicily. They lost their parents in a plane accident and Lena, who moved to Northern Italy as a teacher, goes back to Palermo in order to take care of her younger sister Vittoria who is deaf and lives with their aunt. Lena goes to a school to learn sign language, and Vittoria is the main character of their little world, with her antics and her unconscious grace. Palermo is an eerie city teeming with strange characters, where the two sisters used to live in an enchanted atmosphere when they were children, but now it looks more like something unreal.
In school Lena makes some friends, young unemployed people like her. When Giacomo, the teacher, decides to stage a play, he choses Vittoria as the leading actress. And it is with Vittoria that Dario, Lena’s friend and leading actor, falls in love. Again, Lena is in the backdrop.

 


Roy Jacobsen shortlisted to the Man Booker International Prize

We are thrilled to announce that Roy Jacobsen, who we represent in Italy on behalf of Cappelen Damm Agency, has been shortlisted to the prestigious Man Booker International Prize for his novel The Unseen – Congratulations to this wonderful author!

The Unseen will be published in Italy by Bompiani in the first months of 2018.

It is quite the achievement, being shortlisted along with authors like Dorthe Nors and Amos Oz. Roy Jacobsens down to earth and ultimately touching novel has really impressed readers in many countries – and there are more to come…

As Eileen Battersby of the Irish Times said it:

‘…as blunt as it is subtle and is easily among the best books I have ever read.(…) There is a unique universality about The Unseen. Jacobsen’s prose is beautiful, clean, poised and plain-speaking, but there are interludes of Shakespearean grandeur in the dazzling descriptions of storms. The family seems to accept these vicious tempests as necessary rituals. (…) Yes, there is a terrific story but it is the writing that will cause most readers to read this book at one sitting.‘

Fingers crossed for the win!

Il sogno di Keribe, fantasy novel by Ilaria de Togni, is out today for Gargoyle

 

 

THE DREAM OF KERIBE (fantasy, new adult, paranormal romance – Gargoyle Books, autumn 2016)

Erinke awakens inside the Orlog, at the same time a sea that no one can cross, and a powerful and obscure deity. Erinke is considered a mistake of Nature that can unleash the wrath of the gods and is destined to a future of prosecution and escape, like her peers; she is forced to quickly learn how to survive in a world oppressed by fear and devoured by injustice. The result is an extraordinary heroine, whose inner strength and proactivity, along with lucky encounters and unexpected alliances, keeo her alive until her ability to cope with hardships exceeds expectations, to the extent that she understand she is able not only to change her fate, but that of her people as well. Meanwhile, in the West, the awakened Selah is enlisting followers to declare war on humans and bring back his race to the glory it once had. As soon as he hears of the recent reawakening of four new souls, after 500 years in which the breeding ability of the Borders had been declared inactive, he instructs many hunters to find them for him. Among them is Brant, that will convince Erinke to follow him, out of loyalty to an ideal of reunification that, unbeknownst to her, will send Keribe on the brink of a disastrous war between worlds. In the difficult path they will have to face together, the love soon to be born will change everything, even the harsh laws of a world that is, beautiful and scary at the same time, and will hinder their union until the end. A great love story, the depiction of a world and an adventure novel.

The Beatles’ Christmas by our author Renzo Stefanel out for Giunti – foreign rights available

THE BEATLES’ CHRISTMAS (Giunti editore, 2017, by Renzo Stefanel co-author: Franco Zanetti)

 

offers a strange and curious glance at the history of the Fab Four, picking a dozen joyful, dramatic or funny true stories, set in the heart of winter, Christmas, New Year and surroundings, from the Fifties to the end of the Sixties.

The Beatles who work like slaves at the Cavern and are expelled from Germany because they do not comply with work permits; their audition with Decca on 1st January 1962 (they are rejected!); they become famous and for two Christmases in a row they organize a “Beatles Christmas Show” in which they sing, play and act; in Christmas 1967 are filming a TV movie that will be a major failure, “Magical Mystery Tour”. The book is complete with a rich appendix with lists of Christmas songs performed by the Fab Four or dedicated to them, the Beatles records in the Christmas charts from 1963 to 1969 and the description of the “Christmas Records “that the Beatles prepared every year for their fan club, with the translation of the original cover letters.

Dal 29 settembre 2016, in uscita in tutte le librerie “Il muggito di Sarajevo” di Lorenzo Mazzoni (Edizioni Spartaco).

Nata per essere assediata. È così che si sente Amira, diciotto anni e un grande sogno da realizzare nella città di Sarajevo del ’93, lacerata dalle rappresaglie tra serbi e bosniaci. Il cuore della suonatrice di cigar box guitar batte all’unisono con i colpi di mortaio e le raffiche di mitra, ma Amira canta la sopravvivenza, la speranza. Della band Senza Strumenti fanno parte anche il colonnello Mustafa Setka, mago del basso, e il gigantesco ballerino di kolo, Masne, alle percussioni. I due, per tutto il giorno, seguono Jack, meglio conosciuto come Mozambik l’irlandese, fidanzato di Amira, spacciatore. All’occorrenza, Jack si offre come guida agli inviati di guerra che affollano l’Holiday Inn semidistrutto. Così conosce Carlo e Oscar, due fotoreporter italiani che inseguono uno scoop davvero straordinario: tra macerie e bombe, intendono trovare una vacca indiana che si dice abbia poteri da chiromante. Sarà per caso la Zebù gir che il vecchio Ivan nasconde nella corte interna del suo negozio di tabacchi, adattato a fumeria d’oppio dopo l’inizio del conflitto? Del resto, non è la sola ospite che il commerciante  cela a sguardi e orecchie indiscrete. In uno sgabuzzino è segregato, infatti, un serbo fuori di testa che, dopo una scorpacciata di funghi allucinogeni, si è ritrovato al di là delle linee nemiche. Lo scopo di Ivan è rispedirlo al mittente in cambio di un riscatto, da chiedere a un oscuro cecchino dei servizi segreti serbi, che trova la concentrazione solo canticchiando le hit di Barbra Streisand. Niente a che vedere con i Nirvana di Kurt Cobain, che Amira ha scoperto grazie a un lontano cugino olandese, di origine bosniaca, diviso tra rock e fede religiosa da quando ha abbracciato l’Islam in prigione.

Dopo il romanzo Quando le chitarre facevano l’amore, Lorenzo Mazzoni regala ai suoi lettori un’altra carrellata di personaggi unici, protagonisti di una storia cruda, toccante, avventurosa, grottesca, dall’ipnotico ritmo grunge.

Sex, drugs and kicks in the teeth – Rock’n’roll scandal stories by Renzo Stefanel out now for Giunti editore

SEX & DRUGS & KICKS IN THE TEETH (Giunti editore, 2015) by Renzo Stefanel, rock critic and author. In the sixty-plus years of its history, rock music stole to blues the reputation of “devil’s music”, with an endless series of murky stories, and lives devoted to recklessness, excess and madness. This book is a selection of 40 terrifying and disturbing stories, brilliantly told by the author: Keith Moon and Iggy Pop’s crazy deeds; Hank Williams’ and Sid Vicious’ desperate death; Syd Barrett, Peter Green and Brian Wilson losing their mind; the sagas of depravation by the Led Zeppelin; AJ Weberman, the man who wanted to free Dylan from himself; and Charles Manson, who was an ambitious singer before becoming a ruthless murderer.

De Bello Alieno by Davide del Popolo Riolo wins Vegetti prize for best science fiction book

The steampunk novel by our Davide Del Popolo Riolo wins World SF Ernesto Vegetti prize for the best SF Italian novel of the past 2 years, after winning Premio Odissea 2014.

ingrandisci

DE BELLO ALIENO (Delos 2014, winner of 2013 Odissea Award 800 copies sold so far, rave reviews, good chart placement). Steampunk and sci-fi novel set in 1st century Rome

 

Set in an ancient Rome that is very different from the one we know: the Eternal City is connected to other Italian cities by a railway network, to the other Mediterranean ports by steam ships, and the legions are armed with cannons and rifles. Basically it is the beginning of an industrial revolution like in 18th century England. All this progress has developed thanks to Caesar, who, sent into exile by Sulla, fled to Alexandria where he met the scientist Heron and became an able and astute scientist and entrepreneur himself.

These events are the setting for the story but are not narrated directly because in the year in which the story is set, 49 BC, they have already for the most part become the norm: they are mentioned in passing by the characters and above all they are written about in the excerpts, some authentic some not, from Plutarch’s “Life of Caesar” which open each chapter.

Each of the novel’s characters is a real person from ancient Roman history and even though placed in a Rome that is very different from the actual ancient Rome they behave as the historical originals would have done. The main characters are therefore Caesar, Pompey, Cato, Cicero, Brutus, Mark Antony, and Catullus who often say things recorded in the history books though in a different context.

There are two narrative threads: on the one hand we follow the intrigues of Roman society with Cato attempting to destroy Caesar’s res novae, and on the other the war that breaks out when Wellsian tripods land on the slopes of Vesuvius. The events are not narrated directly but are extrapolated from letters sent between the characters, excerpts from their diaries and their personal notes, newspaper articles, political leaflets, meeting minutes and so on. This allows us to see the events from the differing points of view of the various characters expressed in their own “language” (for example Cicero writes in a very different style to Catullus) and I feel it also gives a certain rhythm to the story despite requiring a little extra work on the part of the reader.
