Presentation by Paola Alberti's novel "Queen" by Barbara Sarri, Robin editions, Rome 2010
I have known Barbara for over twenty years ago and I have shared with you a wonderful adventure, to "Penne angry," a literary movement that I founded in Pisa in June 1996 had all the power of dreams and hopes you are, then, aspiring writers who believed in the lightness of Calvino's memory. I have always believed in his great ability to "tell a story" and to be able to understand the feminine and the "Queen" is a clear demonstration that this is true. Barbara pulled out of our "literary dining room" - so dubbed by the media was the room of my house, full of books and newspapers, where they met the "Penne angry"-a "special recipe" to speak to the hearts of women, telling the story of Regina, a secretary who finds himself living and working in Rome, overwhelmed by the pace of the big city, disappointed in love , a witness against his male incomprehension, but always accompanied by "poetic breath" of the sea of \u200b\u200bOstia. Regina is an important name, reminiscent of the Latin notion of "dominating" and "angelic woman," as if to underline even more "evil to exist" and of being a woman, every day, going through experiences that you can score forever, like love betrayed and walked on or the morning-after pill. Regina is one of us, one of our sister, for a while ', shares with us the way to go every day and sign indicating that the Ring Road in the beautiful cover art, curated by Joseph Benci, it is significant, it seems almost a warning to those women who, every day, in a big city in danger of losing, of failing "to reign in the center of himself, to be entitled to their own space in a room all to himself," to quote Grace Livi. "Queen" is a living character, as always happens in a good book, which may become, at least for a while ', an excellent travel companion.
