Sinossi:
Lorenzo, alle soglie dei quarant’anni, si trasferisce a New York lasciandosi alle spalle un matrimonio fallito e una professione, quella di necroforo, quantomeno inusuale. Gli Stati Uniti, patria delle seconde opportunità, gli appaiono come la meta ideale dove poter ricominciare. L’incontro con la giovane Linda da un lato lenisce quanto di irrisolto si è portato dentro per lungo tempo, dall’altro lo costringe a fare i conti con la sua ambivalenza nei confronti della paternità: diventare padre, infatti, è molto diverso dal sentirsi padre. È una decisione che limita, imprigiona, conforma: sembra quasi una legge sociale non scritta ma inesorabile. E il mestiere di genitore gli appare come una responsabilità che lui, ancora privo di un suo posto saldo nel mondo, non si sente di assumere.
La vita però è imprevedibile e le sue convinzioni si sgretolano quando finalmente stringe tra le braccia la sua piccola Emma. A quel punto, niente è come lo aveva immaginato fino a poco prima.
Emma affianca la propria voce di neonata fiduciosa e splendente a quella del papà, per narrare in una trascinante alchimia di momenti drammatici, episodi spassosi, pagine insieme brillanti e commoventi, la grande avventura che ha portato lei ad affacciarsi al mondo e lui a sconvolgere tutta la propria esistenza.
Una storia ricca, intensa e toccante, luminosa della intelligente ironia di una scrittura che ben conosce i grandi maestri americani, capace di descrivere con vivacità e poesia le infinite avventure, i dubbi, le paure e i grandi entusiasmi di una appassionata paternità.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
