“Una Roma mista e metafisica, contemporanea ma eternamente sospesa fra passato e futuro, è la vera protagonista, non l’ambientazione, di questa raccolta. Nove racconti, alcuni di respiro romanzesco, in cui riconosciamo una città contraddittoria che ridefinisce sempre se stessa, trasformandosi di generazione in generazione in un amalgama, in un viavai ibrido di stranieri e romani che si sentono comunque sempre tutti fuori posto. Segnati da un ambiente al contempo ospitale e ostile, i personaggi che abitano questi racconti vivono momenti di epifania ma anche violente battute di arresto. Così Il confine descrive le vacanze di una famiglia in una casa della bella campagna romana, ma la voce narrante è quella della figlia del custode che un tempo faceva il venditore di fiori in città e nasconde una ferita. Ne Le feste di P. un uomo rievoca le animate serate nell’accogliente casa di un’amica che non c’è più. La scalinata, una storia corale di quartiere, raduna sei personaggi, diversissimi per origine e appartenenza, attorno a un ritrovo comune, un saliscendi continuo di vita nel centro di Roma. Nella Processione una coppia cerca invano in città consolazione e sollievo per un episodio del passato che ha segnato tragicamente le loro vite. In Dante Alighieri il poeta affiora rigoroso e a suo modo inedito nella vita di una donna americana trasferitasi in Italia, tra memorie del passato e inadeguatezze del presente, finché incipit vita nova. L’andamento della scrittura è riconducibile agli autori italiani del Novecento che Jhumpa Lahiri conosce e profondamente ama, a partire da Moravia che riecheggia nel titolo. Ma i temi di questo libro, il quinto che l’autrice scrive direttamente in italiano, sono tutti suoi: lo sradicamento, lo spaesamento, la ricerca di un’identità e di una casa, il sentimento di essere stranieri e soli ma, proprio per questo, in lotta e vitali.

Readers' opinions about Racconti romani by Jhumpa Lahiri

The themes of resilience and hope resonated deeply with me. This book taught me valuable life lessons that I'll carry with me for years to come.

I must confess, this book made me shed tears like never before. The themes of love, loss, and resilience struck a chord with my soul. It was an emotional journey I'm grateful to have taken.

The plot was incredibly well-crafted, with twists and turns that kept me hooked until the very last page. It was impossible to predict what would happen next.
