Gastro

Càpito in una libreria qui a Roma, diciamo in centro, un tardo pomeriggio. La sala principale di esposizione è occupata da un concerto di un pianista che strimpella jingle bells e altre cose natalizie. Nella seconda sala di esposizione tutto il tavolo centrale è occupato da un rinfresco. Alle pareti ci sono per due terzi libri di cucina e per l’infanzia (alcuni molto belli; alcuni no) e per un terzo “grande editoria”: Bompiani, Adelphi, Mondadori, Rizzoli.

Pienone. Gente ovunque che mangia e ascolta, o mangia soltanto. Un commesso isolato a tenere a bada il marasma. Nelle altre sale, solo cibo e niente libri. All’entrata: nessuno. Potrei infilare indisturbato l’uscita senza pagare i tre testi che ho preso. Aspetto pazientemente di pagare. Non un’anima all’orizzonte.

Il pianista ha finito. Una cinquantina di “persone-dopo-l’applauso” si versano sui tavoli delle cibarie. L’entrata è sempre vuota. Sposto lo sguardo su un tavolo alla mia sinistra. Vedo una biografia di un cantautore impresentabile e un ennesimo tomo di versi (*) di un ancor meno presentabile ministro di questo governo. Mollo lì i libri, meglio prendere aria.

Other side India

Ogni volta che si parla di ‘fotografia indiana’, sorge spontaneo un dibattito su quanto sia appropriato parlare appunto di ‘fotografia indiana’ piuttosto che di ‘fotografia in India’. La questione è: quanta fotografia in India è stata effettivamente ‘indianizzata’?
[…] I fotografi qui presentati hanno documentato la complessa natura dello spazio e del tempo in evoluzione attorno alla formazione di un’identità, eseguendo lavori che hanno esplorato in modo cruciale i temi della marginalizzazione e della dispersione.

[Suvendu Chatterjee]

The Belladonna Series

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Belladonna
Series, curated by Rachel Levitsky and Erica Kaufman in New
York City.  To celebrate the occasion, the editors are
celebrating artists who have influenced the members of this
community of conversation, and publishing 8 perfect bound
books-one a month. The “Elders Series” is guest-curated. Each
book, printed as a one-time limited edition (276 – 326 copies
ONLY), is beautifully designed and slightly square-shaped
(6×7). Each contains the work of the two or three people who
read the night the book is released. The books are considered
conversations between writers who are in dialogue. This month
Bob Glück is publishing two chapters from an upcoming novel in
progress, About Ed, and Sarah Schulman is publishing a new
play called MERCY. Last month, Leslie Scalapino published a
new NOH play, A Pear: Actions are Erased, alongside E. Tracy
Grinnell’s newest work, Helen: A Fugue. Next month we’ll
publish new fiction by Chris Kraus and Tisa Bryant.  Future
editions will be, #4: Lyn Hejinian, Etel Adnan, and Jennifer
Scappettone; #5: Marjorie Perloff, Susan Bee and Emma Bee
Bernstein; #6: Gail Scott, M NorbeSe Philip and Kate Eichhorn;
#7: Jayne Cortez, Anne Waldman and Cara Benson; and #8: Tina
Darragh, Diane Ward and Jane Sprague. Each edition documents
an exchange between the writers and artists, an engagement on
experimental form, gossip, topography, a gathering of insights
on the writer/artist/thinker in the world.

!! subscribe to the series !!

Until January 1 it costs $90.00, a bargain-basement price! (It costs
Belladonna* about $28.00 to ship them to you, and this fee
doesn’t include that charge-you are free to include it,
however, or to make a donation to the “Belladonna Series” at
any time: 925 Bergen St. Suite 405, Brooklyn NY 11238). After
January 1, the series will be priced at $100.00. The editors
are only selling up to 150 subscriptions! And they are
dependent upon subscriptions to fund the series. Go to
http://belladonnaseries.org/books.html for more information on
ordering.

Of course, these little gems make great gifts for the holidays.
