Un anno dopo la morte del padre clarinettista jazz, il tredicenne Benny Oh inizia a sentire delle voci. Le voci appartengono alle cose intorno a lui – una scarpa, una decorazione natalizia rotta, una foglia di lattuga avvizzita. Anche se Benny non capisce esattamente che cosa dicano, riesce a percepire le loro emozioni: alcune sono piacevoli, un cinguettio o un gentile mormorio, altre sono malvagie, arrabbiate e piene di dolore. Quando l'ossessione per l'accumulo di sua madre inizia a peggiorare, le voci si fanno sempre più insistenti. In un primo momento Benny prova a ignorarle, ma presto lo seguono fuori casa, per strada e a scuola, spingendolo infine a cercare rifugio nel silenzio della grande Biblioteca Pubblica, dove gli oggetti sono beneducati e sanno parlare a bassa voce. Lì Benny scopre un mondo strano, completamente nuovo, in cui le cose \"accadono\". Si innamora di un'irresistibile artista di strada, con il suo spocchioso furetto, che usa la biblioteca come spazio performativo. Incontra un filosofo-poeta senzatetto che lo incoraggia a farsi domande importanti e a trovare la propria voce in mezzo a tutte le altre. E incontra il suo vero e unico Libro – un oggetto parlante – che racconta la vita di Benny e gli insegna ad ascoltare le cose che contano davvero. Il libro della forma e del vuoto unisce personaggi indimenticabili, una trama appassionante e un coinvolgimento profondo con la realtà nella sua interezza – dal jazz al cambiamento climatico, al nostro attaccamento alle cose materiali. Questa è Ruth Ozeki: audace, incredibilmente umana e mozzafiato.

Storia Della Mia Faccia - Ozeki Ruth - E/o

Quanto la faccia che abbiamo corrisponde alla persona che siamo? Cosa ci racconta una faccia della storia e della geografia da cui veniamo? Quanto ci dice delle possibilità che ci sono state concesse? O di quelle che ci sono state negate? L’osservazione della propria faccia allo specchio, è per la scrittrice e monaca buddhista Zen Ruth Ozeki abile pretesto e preziosa occasione per raccontare alcuni frammenti della propria vita e formazione, bambina e poi ragazza cresciuta da madre giapponese e padre americano di razza caucasica nel Nord America degli anni cinquanta e poi sessanta. Monaca buddhista, attenta alla tradizione Zen secondo cui “la tua faccia prima che nascessero i tuoi genitori” è la tua faccia originale, Ozeki inizia le sue divagazioni su identità e razza chiedendo: «Che aspetto aveva la tua faccia prima che nascessero i tuoi genitori? Alla domanda risponde con questo breve memoir che è un’attenta esplorazione sociologica, politica, poetica, filosofica, spirituale e sentimentale.

The voices belong to the things in his house-a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce.
