Niente può fermarla. Perché scrivere è la sua missione. E solo i libri possono indicarle la strada. Per Vani Sarca fare la ghostwriter è il lavoro ideale. Non solo perché le permette di restarsene chiusa in casa a scrivere, in compagnia dei suoi libri e lontano dal resto dell’umanità, per la quale non prova grande simpatia. Ma soprattutto perché così può sfruttare al meglio il suo dono di capire al volo le persone, di anticipare i loro pensieri, di ricreare il loro stile di scrittura. Una capacità intuitiva innata che fa molto comodo all'editore per cui Vani lavora.

The perception of Africans as subhuman - lacking any kind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion - and the resulting justification for the violence against them is what author Elizabeth R. Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze", an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis.

In a New York Times review of Alice Notley’s 2007 collection In the Pines, Joel Brouwer wrote that “the radical freshness of Notley’s poems stems not from what they talk about, but how they talk, in a stream-of-consciousness style that both describes and dramatizes the movement of the poet’s restless mind, leaping associatively from one idea or sound to the next.” Notley’s new collection is at once a window into the sources of her telepathic and visionary poetics, and a memoir through poems of her Paris-based life between 2000 and 2017, when she finished treatment for her first breast cancer.

At 16, after just four hours of instruction, she flew solo “a rather broken down Fleet biplane that my barnstorming instructor imported from parts unknown”. The year was 1930: Record-setting aviator Jacqueline Cochran (and Love’s future rival) had not yet learned to fly, and the most famous woman pilot of all time, Amelia Earhart, had yet to make her acclaimed solo Atlantic flight.
