A list
3 things I want to share with you.
Ciao,
this time of the year can be overwhelming and full of lists and resolutions, I will keep it short and simple.
I'd like to share with you 1 book, 1 TV-show and 1 film I've seen this year in the hope that you'll find some kind of inspiration or curiosity.
And that is also what I wish you for next year: curiosity, lots of it.
1 Book:
Amy Erdman Farrell Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture - A history of the stigma of fatness in American and European culture. It is an essay, not meant to be entertaining, and it can be repetitive, but I think everyone should read it.
1 TV Show:
Somebody Somewhere- I loved it, cried, laughed so hard, I’m so sad it’s over. My favourite character (a part from Sam and Joel): Fred (Murray Hill).
I totally relate to what Kevin Fallon wrote on the Daily Beast: “My reaction to watching these scenes, a cry that resembled that of a bleating goat, may have had my neighbors wondering when they had moved next to a farm. There are scenes that are so disgustingly, crassly funny that I choked because I gasped so much—the series’ frankness about the reality of people having urgent, 9-1-1, absolutely violent bowel movements lives on.” A show that has been described as a miracle.
1 Movie:
All of Us Strangers. I loved it because of London, and that sense of solitude that I only felt there in my late twenties, but, if you’ll watch it, be prepared, it’s sad.
Thanks for reading, have some rest.
ciao
Marina.
