Copertina alternativa qui. L'amore infelice e scandaloso tra la démi-mondaine Margherita Gautier e Armando Duval; un romanzo che se a suo tempo suscitò lo sdegno dei benpensanti per il tema trattato (e per il modo in cui era denunciata l'ipocrisia del ceto borghese), commosse migliaia e migliaia di lettori in tutto il mondo.
A new play by Neil Bartlett and Handspring Puppet Company.
Recurring nightmares disrupt Mr. F's otherwise orderly life at 47, where calm and precision define his routine on Skin Lane in London. As he grapples with the disturbing images that invade his sleep, he struggles to uncover their origin, leading him to confront unsettling aspects of his past. The story delves into themes of memory, fear, and the impact of unresolved issues, challenging Mr. F to face the hidden truths that his dreams reveal.
Address Book is the new work of fiction by the Costa-shortlisted author of Skin Lane. Neil Bartlett’s cycle of stories takes us to seven very different times and situations: from a new millennium civil partnership celebration to erotic obsession in a Victorian tenement, from a council-flat bedroom at the height of the AIDS crisis to a doctor’s living-room in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, they lead us through decades of change to discover hope in the strangest of places.Neil says, ‘Every place I’ve ever slept in, I’ve always wondered about what went on at that address before I moved in. To write this book, I went back to some significant places in my own life and let the walls talk to me. The result of that listening is this new cycle of stories.’Editor Nathan Evans says, ‘I’ve loved Neil’s writing since finding his first book in the university library, so to publish his latest is something of a dream for me. Inkandescent are proud to be working with such an important queer writer with so much to say about where we are and how we got here.’‘Bartlett is a pioneer on and off the page and we are lucky to have him telling our stories’ —DAMIAN BARR'Address Book is completely absorbing; tender, enchanting and a mesmeric read from cover to cover. Neil’s skill as a story-teller is unsurpassed. This book is something else. I adored it.'—JOANNA LUMLEY
