Acclaimed author Lauren Slater ruminates on what it means to be family.

In these autobiographical pieces, Slater presents snapshots of domestic life, populating them with the gritty details and jarring realities of sharing home, life, and body in the curious institution called "family."

Al suo primo apparire "Gomorra" era l'opera prima di un giornalista e blogger poco conosciuto. La sua novità e la sua forza si sono imposte rapidamente sul pubblico, facendo del libro un caso letterario e dell'autore, Roberto Saviano, una icona della lotta antimafia. Adattato per il teatro e poi per il cinema, divenuto infine una serie TV di grande successo internazionale, "Gomorra" è un esempio di "narrazione transmediale" di notevole impatto.

Em um momento no qual conceitos como “Colonialidade”, “Descolonialidade”, “Decoloniedade” e “Contracolonialidade” estão na ordem do dia, Olivier Marboeuf, em Fugas Decoloniais, foge de explicações estereotipadas e lugares-comuns acadêmicos. Com uma análise arguta e inteligente, pautada em sólidas referências, o autor apresenta, através de “lições” e “conversas”, como as estratégias da cultura e da economia neoliberal se esforçam por manter as estruturas das esferas coloniais.

A vida afinal é uma obra corajosa e comovente que enfrenta as conversas que a maioria evita: aquelas sobre doenças graves, o fim da vida e a morte.
