Summary

A betrayed woman decides that she must get revenge not only against her cheating husband, but also the people who for some time revolved around her life: the lesbian friend, the career police officer, the photographer who is half paparazzi and half private investigator, the Milanese writer, the pusher, and so on. The story takes place in the Marche charming townhome of poet Giacomo Leopardi. This town is where Emanuela will carry out her revenge, based on the number seven and colors, the colors of seduction. Seven colors of the rainbow, seven deadly sins, seven secret rooms of her house where, one after the other, the unsuspecting victims of her revenge will end up. An act of revenge that, however, will leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the protagonist.

Emanuela La Capricciosa is the pseudonym behind which, in addition to Emanuela from Recanati,  there are some authors belonging to the literary Token Ring, who have created this short novel as a collective work. A pleasant, flowing and intriguing reading, irreverent enough, but never vulgar.

    SMALL TOWN. BIG BOOM. 
 
 
 
Davis Way Cole returns to her hometown of Pine Apple, Alabama, to fill in for her police chief father during the bustling Memorial Day Celebration. It'll be fun. Relaxing. And a no-brainer. After years of leading an elite security team at a billion-dollar casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, Davis has no doubt whatsoever she can run little ole Pine Apple in her sleep. 
 
 
 
She should think again. 
 
 
 
A blast from her past shows up. (With baggage.) Just before her casino-spy partner from Biloxi blows into town. (As a fugitive.) Then something goes wrong with the weed-control crew. (Terribly wrong.) And that was just Davis's first day on the job. 
 
 
 
Her missteps that follow threaten to blow her life to smithereens. They include pilfering a botanical garden from her Biloxi employer, hiding out in a closed diner with a surprise in the freezer, and choosing a questionable-at-best team to aid and assist when a fireworks problem pops up. But all that pales next to Davis reopening Pine Apple's oldest and deepest wound. Because, as she soon learns, some small-town secrets are best left buried. 
 
 
 
What will she do? 
 
 
 
Everything she possibly can.

    ""Creep is everything I want from a novel—it’s obsessive, it’s rapturous, it spirals into the most masochistic corners of the mind. A perfectly twisted debut.""—Anna Dorn, author of Perfume & Pain 
""A chilling book by an exciting new voice.""—Vogue (UK) 
From a blistering new voice in dark literary fiction, an unsettling portrait of loneliness, obsession, and identity which asks: if a stranger was left alone in your house, how well could they truly get to know you—enough to fall in love with you?  
Alice and Tom are made for each other. Deeply connected, they share a flat in London, go to galleries together, enjoy the same books and wine. They even share a toothbrush. It’s all picture perfect. 
Except Alice and Tom have never met. 
Alice has been cleaning Tom’s apartment every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every multivitamin counted in the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation, imagining a love so powerful it might erase a lifetime of self-hatred and loneliness. 
But as Alice prepares for the moment when she and Tom will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was. Instead, the line between fantasy and reality becomes ever more blurred, shattering everything Alice thought she knew. 
Told in Alice’s compelling, deliciously acidic voice, Creep is a literary study of unreliability and unlikability. Exploring alienation, class, and race, it's a skilled debut with resonance in the way that we view women, mental health, and the lost in society.

    Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

    G K Chesterton

    A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University
