Behind the face of a good guy Mark Merlin, hides Andrea Temporelli - his heteronym -, talented poet (in 2005 he published by Einaudi The sky of Mars), fierce and feared critic. With its editorial, quarter by quarter, it builds a kind of warrior-poet's manual, a sort of lyrical art of war. "We are convinced that you have to pay in person every word; each verse to be an offer, but the total, authentic. " The tome, ethically title dissociation, lunges and leaks (Giuliano Ladolfi Publisher, pp. 400, € 20), also collects the meetings, always extreme, of Temporelli with Roberto Mussapi, Umberto Fiori, Tiziano Scarpa, Antonio Riccardi A ... book that is the mirror, on the contrary, another book just as decisive, Letters to no one, Antonio Moresco. Only there it persisted in giving an account of his talent, the big publishing nell'ottusità, here you play counterattack: not a lament yarn, sharpening his sword, building a community. "Blessed be the anonymity that allows us freedom of infiltrators and cheerfulness of despair," writes Temporelli.
