By Chiara Mazzucchelli
In The center and the Island, Chiara Mazzucchelli explores the powerful bond among Sicilian American writers and the island of Sicily. Self-contained but attached to the mainland, geographically separated from but politically united to the remainder of Italy, Sicily occupies a distinct place. during the 20th century, the experience of a special sicilianità—or Sicilianness—has manifested itself in a corpus of texts that, even if subsumed less than the wider context of Italian literature, have uncommon themselves as examples of an exquisitely Sicilian literary event. Mazzucchelli argues parallel phenomenon—sicilianamericanità—has emerged within the usa. concentrating on the island’s geography, historical past, and tradition, she examines what percentage American authors of Sicilian descent derive suggestion from their ethnic milieu and lay out a recognizable set of Sicilian tradition markers of their works, thereby generating a literature that's surprisingly Sicilian American. Drawing on either Italian and Italian American scholarship, The middle and the Island is the 1st full-length research of Sicilian American literature, and it opens an area for brand spanking new interdisciplinary discussions on what it potential to be Italian on either side of the ocean.
Chiara Mazzucchelli is Assistant Professor of Italian reports on the college of vital Florida.

The Nation
Este volumen reúne los noventa y cinco artículos publicados por Javier Marías en el suplemento dominical El País Semanal entre el 10 de febrero de 2013 y el 1 de febrero de 2015.
En opinión del autor, «nos encontramos en una situación de emergencia que obliga a mancharse con los angeles suciedad que esparcen nuestros gobernantes de todo signo. Cuando los abusos no son l. a. excepción, sino los angeles regla; cuando no se da abasto a contrarrestar -qué digo: a señalar- los desmanes y tropelías, entonces no hay más remedio que emporcarse. Ningún combate se libra desde el tendido. [...] Qué más quisiera yo que mirar desde el tendido con aprobación y complacencia, y no soliviantarme con las noticias de cada mañana.»
Las piezas recogidas en Juro no decir nunca l. a. verdad conforman una crónica del periodo, no sólo política -pese a que l. a. impotencia y el hartazgo del ciudadano común están omnipresentes, así como las dolorosas consecuencias de los angeles challenge y l. a. falacia de l. a. recuperación económica-, sino también social y cultural: los estúpidos hábitos originados por el uso de las nuevas tecnologías, el lamentable estado de los angeles cultura en España, el cine y los angeles literatura, los excéntricos regalos bélicos de su amigo Pérez-Reverte, los comportamientos incívicos, el adiós a algunos seres queridos y las falsedades interesadas sobre los intelectuales son otros de los temas tratados.
En suma, en este libro Javier Marías ofrece una fiel instantánea de los angeles realidad llena de agudeza e ironía. Y nos brinda el impulso y las claves necesarias para pensar por nuestra cuenta en el tiempoen el que vivimos.
