The Durrells are probably the most celebrated literary family of the 20th century. Gerald turned them into celebrities with his tripartite memoir, beginning with My Family and Other Animals (1956) which told of his experiences with his widowed mother Louisa and three siblings during their time in 1930s Corfu. We know of the Durrells from their own writings and from the image of them created by TV, film and biographical accounts of specific figures. What we do not know is the truth.

Confiteor è il racconto dell'uomo che sono diventato, non flusso di coscienza, ma fatti, storie. E l'attraversamento, in settant'anni di vita, di tre secoli, dal mio "Ottocento" a oggi. Piergiorgio Paterlini ci consegna un mondo, non soltanto un libro. Raccontando di sé - in una confessione sorprendente, spregiudicata, il bisbiglìo a un amico durante una lunga notte - incrocia la sua storia personale con quella di un Paese, tra amarcord e ricerca delle radici, tra romanzo di formazione e la scelta di vivere "dalla parte del torto".

È una donna giovane e avventurosa, circondata da libri e da un rigoglioso giardino, sulla strada per diventare una scrittrice di successo. I due si incontrano per la prima volta alla Fiera del libro di Francoforte nell'ottobre del 1995.

Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom—for idealism itself—against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.

Restless Women: The Writers Who Made a Place for Women in the World by Julia Cooke is a forthcoming title from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

In sports, not all the long shots who succeed are athletes. In 1984, Tom Hammond, a forty-year-old sportscaster who had primarily worked in Kentucky and the Southeast, got an unlikely opportunity to appear on the NBC Sports telecast of the inaugural Breeders' Cup. Assigned to report from the stall area on what was supposed to be a single broadcast, Hammond performed so well that an NBC executive offered him a chance to call NFL games on the spot.

When Greg James was eight years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ('to me, to you') signed an autograph with the message 'All the best for the future': a mad thing to say to a kid, oddly formal, like the kind of thing you write in the leaving card of a colleague you don't know very well. Eight-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life.

Hace unos años me rompí por completo. Tanto como para que tuvieran que atarme a la cama de un hospital psiquiátrico para evitar que pudiera hacerme daño. No tengo ni idea de cuándo empezó a formarse mi locura. A lo mejor nací genéticamente predispuesto. A lo mejor fui macerando una depresión al callarme ciertas cosas por no preocupar a los demás. O a lo mejor simplemente hay cerebros que de la noche a la mañana hacen crec y se acabó.

Theroux the Keyhole is an honest, hilarious and ultimately heartwarming diary of the weirdness of family life in COVID World.

Retired wreckhead Catherine Gray, author of surprise best seller The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober, is now in her ninth sober year and has learnt a damn sight more. This hotly anticipated sequel enlists the help of experts and case studies, turning a curious, playful gaze onto provocative questions. Is alcohol a parenting aid? Why are booze and cocaine such a horse and carriage? Once an addict, always an addict? How do you feel safe—from alcohol, others and yourself—in sobriety?

The Unquiet Englishman braids the narratives of Greene's extraordinary life. It portrays a man who was traumatized as an adolescent and later suffered a mental illness that brought him to the point of suicide on several occasions; it tells the story of a restless traveler and unfailing advocate for human rights exploring troubled places around the world, a man who struggled to believe in God and found himself described as a great Catholic writer; it reveals a private life in which love almost always ended in ruin, alongside a larger story of politicians, battlefields, and spies.

The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: First she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.
