Il Circolo Bookclub, Mondo Nuovo is going to discuss “Non Scrivere di Me” by Veronica Raimo with Olga Campofreda.
Dennis May is dead. For the world, it is just one piece of news among many, but for S., it is the wrong ending to her story. Dennis was the object of her devotion and the architect of her humiliation, the possibility of imagining another life and infinite self-deception. If today S. is a waitress and despises almost everything, she has him to thank for it. Or perhaps it is just an alibi.
With a magnetic, tender and unsettling voice, Veronica Raimo recounts the scandal of desire that lurks in trauma, the ridicule that accompanies tragedy, the doubt that what defines our story – even more than what has happened – is what we continue to wait for, in the dullness of anger or love.
‘It is the constant sense of reversibility that causes pain, the idea that we can still change things’.
The Il Circolo Bookclub is online via Zoom.
