Carly Phillips

    7 luglio 1965

    Caryl Phillips è un acclamato autore britannico le cui opere approfondiscono i complessi temi dell'identità, della migrazione e della ricerca di appartenenza. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da un'acuta intuizione psicologica e dalla capacità di catturare i paesaggi emotivi dei suoi personaggi su sfondi storici e sociali significativi. Attraverso i suoi romanzi e saggi, Phillips esplora questioni di sradicamento e collisione culturale, spesso concentrandosi sull'esperienza diasporica. La sua importanza letteraria risiede nel suo empatico esame della condizione umana e nella sua esplorazione di come la storia plasmi le vite individuali.

      Figlio di immigrati delle Indie Occidentali e dirigente in un ufficio per l'Integrazione razziale di Londra, Keith Gordon è un uomo allo sbando: si è appena separato dalla moglie Annabelle, che per sposarlo aveva tagliato i ponti con la sua famiglia; è in congedo forzato dal lavoro, dove una giovane collega sembra intenzionata a denunciarlo per molestie sessuali; il figlio diciassettenne, alle prese con i conflitti dell'integrazione e con i disagi dell'adolescenza, fa di tutto per evitarlo. Insomma, non c'è niente che funzioni nella sua vita. Ma quella di Keith Gordon non è solo una classica crisi di mezz'età. Dietro lo scacco esistenziale di un uomo sospeso tra un passato in fondo sconosciuto - il pallido ricordo della madre, l'ostile silenzio del padre, la terra d'origine mai visitata - e un futuro carico solo di incertezze, c'è il disagio di una generazione che sta perdendo se stessa in una città segnata da tensioni e contraddizioni sociali inedite, che rendono quasi impossibile definire la propria identità. Come la Londra di oggi, anche Keith Gordon deve passare da una vecchia a una nuova immagine di se stesso. In bilico tra passato e presente, Caryl Phillips intreccia abilmente background sociale e culturale, carattere e aspettative di un uomo colto in un momento critico della sua vita e ne fa il prisma attraverso cui si riflettono le mille contraddizioni della società multietnica, offrendo un mirabile spaccato dell'Inghilterra contemporanea. "Phillips è un maestro nel trattare argomenti come la razza, l'immigrazione, l'identità" ha scritto l'autorevole "Publishers Weekly", e Sotto la nevicata è un romanzo che stimola e affascina, un libro che rompe gli stereotipi e non consola."
