Good news for those of you who might be thinking ‘I don’t think I would enjoy reading this book so why should I bother?’ The Canarsie Flash is not a predictable cookie cutter novel that fits cleanly into the cubby hole of just one or even two genres.

Carlo Emilio Gadda

Carlo Emilio Gadda was an Italian writer and poet. He belongs to the tradition of the language innovators, writers that played with the somewhat stiff standard pre-war Italian language, and added elements of dialects, technical jargon and wordplay.
Gadda was a practising engineer from Milan, and he both loved and hated his job. Critics have compared him to other writers with a scientific background, such as Primo Levi, Robert Musil and Thomas Pynchon--a similar spirit of exactitude pervades some of Gadda's books.
Carlo Emilio Gadda was born in Milan in 1893, and he was always intensely Milanese, although late in his life Florence and Rome also became an influence. Gadda's nickname is Il gran Lombardo, The Great Lombard: a reference to the fam

Dino Campana

Dino Campana was an Italian visionary poet. His fame rests on his only published book of poetry, the Canti orfici ("Orphic Songs"), as well as his wild and erratic personality, including his ill-fated love affair with Sibilla Aleramo. He is often seen as an Italian example of a poète maudit. Dino Campana is generally represented as the “wild man” of Italian poetry. His Orphic Songs, written in 1914, represent a “romanticized” and idealized vision that lashed out against the bourgeoisie and contemporary attitudes of the Italians.

Thomas Gordon

Thomas Gordon was an American clinical psychologist, student and later colleague of Carl Rogers. He was mainly known for his Gordon Method, primarily a method to improve relationships between parents and children that was later developed into a general communication method to improve all relationships.

Dr. Gordon spent more than 50 years teaching parents, teachers and leaders the model he developed for building effective relationships. His model was based on a strong belief that the use of coercive power damages relationships. As an alternative, he taught people skills for communicating and resolving conflicts that they can use to build and maintain good relationships at home, school and at work.

Tomaso Montanari

Sono nato nel 1971 a Firenze, dove vivo. Studio l’arte dell’età barocca e la storia del patrimonio culturale.

Mi sono formato alla Normale di Pisa, ho insegnato a lungo alla Federico II di Napoli e ora sono professore ordinario di Storia dell’Arte Moderna all’Università per Stranieri di Siena.

Sono convinto che gli storici dell’arte servano a fare entrare le opere d’arte nella vita intellettuale ed emotiva di chi si occupa di tutt’altro.

Penso anche che l’amore per la storia dell’arte non debba essere un fatto privato (o peggio un’evasione, o un modo per non pensare), ma pubblico e ‘politico’. L’articolo 9 della Costituzione ha, infatti, mutato irreversibilmente il ruolo del patrimonio storico e artistico italiano, facendone un segno visibile
