[Italian] - Stringere la mano a Dio

"Cos’è la scrittura? In due occasioni – la prima in una libreria di Union Square a Manhattan, davanti a un pubblico di diverse centinaia di ascoltatori attenti e calorosi, la seconda durante un pranzo fra amici al Café de Paris – Kurt Vonnegut e Lee Stringer cercano di trovare delle risposte. Così diversi per età, provenienza, educazione, istruzione, entrambi hanno in comune obiettivi e aspirazioni, prima fra tutte quella di scrivere libri che facciano la differenza. E mentre discutono della loro vocazione condivisa ci regalano metafore indimenticabili del processo della scrittura, che non è certo un modo “per fare soldi, ma per prendersi cura delle proprie nevrosi, migliorare se stessi”; e quando si compie “è come stringere la mano a Dio”."

Kurt Vonnegut, Lee Stringer (Author), Edoardo Siravo (Narrator)

Grand Central Winter, Expanded Second Edition: Stories from the Street

"In the underground tunnels below Grand Central Terminal, Lee Stringer—homeless and drug-addicted for eleven years—found a pencil to run through his crack pipe. One day he used it to write. Soon writing became a habit that won out over drugs, and before long Stringer had created one of the most powerful urban memoirs of our time. With humane wisdom and a biting wit, Stringer chronicles the unraveling of his seemingly secure existence as a marketing executive and his odyssey of survival on the streets of New York. Whether he is portraying 'God's corner,' as he calls 42nd Street, or his friend Suzi, a hooker and 'past-due tourist' whose infant he sometimes babysits, whether he recounts taking shelter underneath Grand Central by night and collecting cans by day or making a living hawking Street News on the subway, Lee Stringer conveys the vitality and complexity of a down-and-out life. Rich with small acts of kindness, humor, and even heroism amid violence and desperation, Grand Central Winter offers a touching portrait of our shared humanity."
