Quel che ho da dire è che sono...

Bartolomeo Vanzetti

Vanzetti nacque a Villafalletto, in provincia di Cuneo, l'11 giugno del 1888, primogenito dei quattro figli di Giovanna Nivello (1862-1907) e Giovanni Battista Vanzetti (1849-1931), modesto proprietario terriero e gestore di una piccola caffetteria. Pur non vivendo in ristrettezze economiche, a spingerlo a emigrare negli Stati Uniti d'America furono soprattutto l'improvvisa e tragica morte dell'amata madre, che lo portò quasi alla follia, e probabilmente una consuetudine familiare (anche il padre era stato emigrante per un breve periodo, dal 1881 al 1883 in California). Fece molti lavori, accettando tutto ciò che gli capitava. Lavorò in varie trattorie, in una cava, in un'acciaieria e in una fabbrica di cordami, la Plymouth Cordage Company. Spirito libero e indipendente, era un avido lettore soprattutto delle opere di Marx, Darwin, Hugo, Gorkij, Tolstoj, Zola e Dante. Nel 1916 guidò uno sciopero contro la Plymouth e per questo motivo nessuno volle più dargli un lavoro. Più tardi, nel 1919, si mise in proprio facendo il pescivendolo fino al momento dell'arresto.

The Man Nobody Killed - Life...

Elon Green

“Elon Green’s grimly vivid telling of this story and its aftermath in The Man Nobody Killed is part elegy for Stewart himself, part portrait of the city that failed him… The events recounted in Green’s swift, unsparing book are as timely as ever; one can only hope they still have the power to shock.” —The New York Times Book Review“A powerful reclamation.” —AudioFileThe first comprehensive audiobook about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call.This program, read by multi Audie award-winning narrator Dion Graham, features a bonus conversation between the author and gallerist Patrick Fox, who rented Michael Stewart studio space in New York City.At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall.Witnesses reported officers beating him with billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death.The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death.Elon Green, the Edgar Award–winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

The Shaking Woman or A History...

Siri Hustvedt

While speaking at a memorial event in 2006, Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck down. Despite her flapping arms and shaking legs, she continued to speak clearly and was able to finish her speech. It was as if she had suddenly become two people: a calm orator and a shuddering wreck. Then the seizures happened again and again. The Shaking Woman tracks Hustvedt's search for a diagnosis, one that takes her inside the thought processes of several scientific disciplines, each one of which offers a distinct perspective on her paroxysms but no ready solution. In the process, she finds herself entangled in fundamental questions: What is the relationship between brain and mind? How do we remember? What is the self? 
 
 
 
During her investigations, Hustvedt joins a discussion group in which neurologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and brain scientists trade ideas to develop a new field: neuropsychoanalysis. She volunteers as a writing teacher for psychiatric in-patients at the Payne Whitney clinic in New York City and unearths precedents in medical history that illuminate the origins of and shifts in our theories about the mind-body problem. Hustvedt synthesizes her experience and research into a compelling mystery: Who is the shaking woman? In the end, the story she tells becomes, in the words of George Makari, "a brilliant illumination for us all."

On Browsing

Jason Guriel

A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.
