come tutte le storie che permettono di farti fantasticare riguardo "storie alternative", lascia un senso di amara tristezza nel cuore. immaginavo lourdes potesse essere un altro piano diabolico all'incrocio tra capitalismo e religione, ma non credevo foss così una merda!

l'unica cosa che non ho gradito è il tocco di anti-secolarismo di sinistra dell'autore. non sarà mai troppo tardi quando, finalmente, anche i sinistroidi intelletuali capiranno che non sono le religioni e le preghiere il problema, ma, come al solito, il buon vecchio capitalismo.

giving it five stars because it is the only resource i found it about the subject so far, but saying it's outdated is an euphemism.

the first part about witchcraft in the neapolitan area has a nice beginning and nice ending, but the whole middle chunk is so boring...

the chapter about the cimaruta is very very nice, but then, again, old and, probably, for that same reason, could go more in depth on some things.

i really like the last chapter with the illustrations though. very 19th century. lol.

boring. cant remember who suggested it to me, but i hate them now.

i won't read a "how to write" book for a long while.

also, the author acts all like girlboss-i-eat-men-for-brekkie and then every single example is from a white cis het dude. lol.

it's a teen queer story, but one that feels real for once, unlike some shitty tv series. there is doubt, there is mess, there is poetry, there is sex. but the teen sex, the one full of questions, discoveries, possibly dangerous, but in a naive way. i dont know what dean atta did, but i truly believe he was a 20 years old writing this. lol. anyway, very smooth and lovely read. it's classified as young adult and i found it in the children's section, but for that same reason it costs only £8, which is an amazing deal. eheh!

... but it's still just another "war" story. yep, it is liberation. yes, it is satisfying. yes, we need stories like this.

but i also want to know what happens after. give me confederalism. give me alternate universe. give me love after so much blood.

why do we always stop when things get interesting? sigh!

i love this kid of anthologies even though i don't know what kind is it. how to classify it i mean, in my mind.

it is also very informative for people who know nothing on the subject.

anche molto bene e ben scritto e credo sia importantissimo, ora come ora, riconoscere come il colonialismo sia stato ed è uno strumento usato sia per incentivare problemi interni che per mascherare alcuni aspetti della nostra cultura.

e che, come sempre, le napoletane e i terroni hanno più in comune col sud del mondo che il nord.

ci sono stati rallentamenti nella lettura dovuti ad alcuni capitoli un poco troppo pesanti teoria. gramsci con la pala e quindi mi scendeva quella uallera che solo gli accademici di sinistra so capaci di farmi scendere.

per fortuna, il libro non è tutto così. <3

it is a very fun and interesting reading. it is a playful joy to read it and you can easily do it in one session. it also really inspired me narratively because both storytelling and the language are uniquely queer. i would love to find more quirky speculative fiction like this.

i love the ko sisters and i love everything they say and talk about and also the way they write and basically i love what's in this book.

what doesn't work for me is that it isn't really a book. it is more transferring a blog onto pages and well calling it a book lol.

which can work or not i guess. and it didn't really work for me this time.

it could and should have been a way smoother reading especially because im into everything they say and because the writing is super accessbile.

but i just was never fully engage and i dread finishing this sometimes.

now i need some cool fiction for detox.

yep, as i said, it's a good book to gift to that friend of yours who just realised they were living in the matrix. it's uk focused and it has a nice intersectional historical analysis of "the movement".

the last two chapters are a surprise being slightly more "radical" and "direct" than the rest of the book saying that, you know, there is only so much we can talk about. at some point, we got to do shit.

little necessary interesting okay

good and cute. nice little essay to help already-anarchists think more, but that could be also a nice little introduction for people who are not yet familiar with this way of life. and the illustrations are all so good! it would be amazing to wheatpaste them all around our dirty grey cities!

thats it

that was long. and beautiful and exciting. i want to be a queer deity now and make love with chaos and death.

i think i might have read of a canon short story called "not the end" somewhere. does anyone know if that's true? and where to find it?

because of the format (tiny chapters of 4/5 pages) and the total number of pages, it kind of goes fast, but it def need a re-read or a slower-paced reading in the first place.

biopic with a hint of magic realism, our new fave comic book genre.
