Sofia always dresses in black is the new narrative essay by Paolo Cognetti, author of A Handbook for Successful Girls and A Small Thing That's About to Explode. In her stories about him, chiseled with the finesse of Carver and Salinger, she was able to represent the female universe with surprising intensity. And the protagonist of her new book is still a woman, a novel composed of ten independent stories that accompany her throughout thirty years of history: from her childhood in an apparently normal bourgeois family, but marked by underground tensions, to her adolescence tormented by psychological disorders, to the liberating discovery of sex and the passion for theatre, to the moment of maturity and budgets. With her precise and intense writing, which hides an extraordinary emotional power behind the apparent simplicity, Cognetti gives us the portrait of an unforgettable female character: a murky and restless woman, capable of surviving her own neuroses and exploiting sudden moments of enlightenment until you find, with difficulty, your own way. A compelling book in which each reader will find moments of beauty and pain, of anxiety and redemption, which she will recognize having experienced even on her own skin.
