Description: Romanzo di formazione insolito e ironico, "Questi adulti" ci racconta in prima persona la storia di Emily, a partire da quando, quattordicenne, partecipa alla festa per i cinquant'anni del padre nella loro bella casa in un quartiere residenziale del Connecticut, per poi svilupparsi nel corso di oltre dieci anni, e attraverso due continenti. La voce irriverente e lo sguardo acuto e lucidissimo di Emily ci raccontano il suo modo di vedere gli adulti, attraverso snodi fondamentali che capovolgeranno il suo mondo: la separazione dei genitori, il trasferimento del padre a Praga, il suicidio di un vicino di casa, la gravidanza della madre di un amico di cui il padre di Emily è indubbiamente responsabile. Ma, nonostante il passare del tempo, anche Emily sente di soffrire di un disturbo interiore che le impedisce di definirsi un'adulta a tutti gli effetti: la sfrontatezza e i timori dell'adolescenza, la stupefatta sicurezza di fronte all'ignoto, il terrore e insieme la distaccata compassione nei confronti della morte e delle miserie dell'età adulta sopravvivono allo scorrere degli anni. E Alison Espach – autrice di "Appunti sulla tua scomparsa improvvisa" – con la sua voce fresca è bravissima a rendere questa compresenza di ricordo e presente, comprimendo e mescolando la cronologia, e restituendoci con amara ironia, genialità e acume ogni momento della lotta di una giovane donna per crescere in un mondo dove adulti e bambini sono a volte pericolosamente indistinguibili e i loro comportamenti troppo spesso considerati alla stessa stregua We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
