FictionLa boutique
by Eliana Bouchard
At the core of this new novel is a boutique, a spacious place full of light where objects and clothes are given new life; the layout and architecture of the space feature both Eastern and Western details. The two owners have very different personalities: Nina, whose husband committed suicide in the aftermath of the US financial crash, is vulnerable and unsettled;Teresa, Jewish and married to a Spanish cello player that gives her confidence and comfort, is balanced and determined. The boutique sees an entire world of people coming and going through its doors, and the relationships that start there soon complicate themselves, showing the signs of a transient and ever changing universe. The boutique also becomes a meeting point for the cast of characters that regularly spends time there – a career woman, a strong-minded housewife, an ex workman, a frustrated father and a cheating gay man –, a place where they can play out affections, jealousy, betrayals, hopes and disappointments.When Ibrahim, an Afghan tailor, attempts to declare his love for high-maintenance Nina, even the most ill matched couple will show a determination to change, a flicker of hope for a better world.

Sguardi sulla figura di san Giuseppe
by Antonio Autiero, Marinella Perroni
Joseph occupies a marginal place inside the theological discourse, unlike Mary. Yet, he also reflects important issues of our time, linked to the debate on identity, relationships and functions of being in the world as men and women, and in terms of living in a church made up of men and women. Freed from hagiographic stereotypes and strictly apologetic purposes, Joseph becomes the emblem of a masculinity that is now more than ever in question: what does it mean for a male to feel himself as a subject, as a person? What does it mean to share a journey of substantial relationships and to generate life together? What does it mean to take care of the world, in the plurality of its possible expressions (politics, profession, civil commitment)? This book starts an original path, expression of the fruitful intertwining that theology intends to establish with other cultural approaches. It discloses a set of “looks” – historical, biblical, sociological, theological, pastoral ... – aimed at Saint Joseph, a figure of a masculinity that questions us. Moreover, it proposes an ideal dialogue between scholars who have accepted Pope’s invitation: Ite ad Ioseph, «Go to Joseph». Their answers can be surprising. CONTRIBUTORS: Daniele Bouchard, Arianna De Simone, Elizabeth E. Green, Andrea Grillo, Adreas Heek, Michela Murgia, Paolo Naso, Cristina Oddone, Giusi Quarenghi, Simona Segoloni Ruta, Silvia Zanconato.
