Premio Strega 2022: Nina sull’argine di Veronica Galletta

Tempo di lettura: 4 minuti L’acqua si riprende sempre quello che è suo, così dicevano i vecchi. Caterina è sull’argine col corpo e col cuore. Dopo una laurea in ingegneria ottenuta a fatica e una gavetta in un ambiente ancora fortemente maschilista, ottiene il suo primo incarico importante, un progetto ostico sull’argine di Spina, piccola località padana minacciata da inondazioni, che nessun ingegnere più esperto … Continua a leggere Premio Strega 2022: Nina sull’argine di Veronica Galletta

Booker Prize 2021: The Promise by Damon Galgut

A little imagination

Tempo di lettura: 6 minuti «Dinner’s ready!» Mother always had to call her at least twice for meals. Nova had a tendency to run about at the least convenient of times, usually to pick up things no parent would have wanted their child to touch. At present, her fascination rested with an old toy she’d dug out of an abandoned box in an abandoned building … Continua a leggere A little imagination

Gli Oscar di Linea20: Black Panther

tempo di lettura: 5 minuti Diciottesimo film del Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther soffre il triste destino di essere un bel film la cui candidatura, agli occhi di tutti, rimarrà sempre una mossa strategica. Come ogni film che anche solo sfiori il tema del razzismo, per la grande massa di spettatori il cinecomics di Coogler fa parte della diversity quota di un Academy che deve … Continua a leggere Gli Oscar di Linea20: Black Panther
