Sam Pickering Libri

Sam Pickering scrive nella forma del saggio familiare, dove la sua arguzia, affabilità burbera e senso della meraviglia, spesso intriso di malizia, brillano attraverso quelle che chiama "frasi schiette e lavorative". I suoi argomenti spaziano dai fiori selvatici in Nuova Scozia ai pettegolezzi di provincia nel Tennessee fino alle pretese polverose della vita universitaria. Come esercizi nel "dorare il banale", i saggi di Pickering scoprono sottili ironie, giustappongono delizia e malinconia, e vagano lontano ma sempre tornano a casa. Pickering vede la verità come un composto, da smontare attraverso il linguaggio.
