Agostiniani Libri/ The cannibals

In collaboration with Diffondiamo idee di valore and Conversazioni sul futuro, the Agostiniani Libri review welcomes Giulia Maria Falzea and her book I cannibali (Affiori - Giulio Perrone Editore), which the author presents in dialogue with writer Elisabetta Liguori. The cannibals are the sons and daughters, object and subject of love, the very reason for existence for the natural or adoptive mother. Their daily stories delineate the most sophisticated bond nature has ever conceived, that between sons and their mothers, even when they die. Isidore and Ira become motherless on the same day, at the same time. He is a 35-year-old anaffective and insensitive tanatoesthetist, she a six-year-old girl suffering from selective mutism. It is the little girl who breaks the wall of silence, being the first to express her pain. A non-strictly verbal dialogue is established between the two, concerning motherhood in the animal world and the duty of being a child. What is a mother? What are the right formulas for loving her?

Free admission.
