Monday 13 May 2024 at 6.00 pm Hoepli bookshop Of Milan (via Ulrico Hoepli 5) hosts Luca Guadagnino who presents the book Ash. Notes from a bereavement, the new book by Mario Natangelo. Moderate Isabella Fava of Modern Woman.
A book about deathon the ache, of course, but not only. Cenere is a book first and foremost about life and on theLoveWhere we cry a lot and we laugh a lot. Satire makes no concessions: Natangelo does not give up sarcasm and comedy, this time directed against himself, and with his recognizable features and sharp jokes, he offers the reader a new, more intimate and vulnerable face.
In a time that takes on a new rhythm, the irregular one of waves of pain, bringing the reader closer and further away from the day of his mother’s death, Natangelo draws on all his satirical baggage. And to the question “Can you make people laugh by talking about one of life’s greatest, inevitable and natural pains?” the answer incredibly becomes yes.
In the diary of his suffering, in what Natangelo defines as a “heart speleology”, “a core sample of pain”together with his sister Anna, his “beloved father”, his nieces and the characters who crowd his daily life, colleagues, directors with caricatural features and beautiful and ethereal women, there is space to suffer and have fun, in both cases without fear of reaching tears.
