GiuseppeBenassi's "Una Favolosa Eredità"
A ride into disgust, more and more explicit, less and less mitigated by the sublime of the art or the lyricism of the landscape, this latest effort by Giuseppe Benassi. In “A Fabulous Inheritance” we find the ever-present Labronian lawyer Borrani dealing with a case full of legal as well as criminal quibbles, a huge inheritance disputed between four people, with as many wills now in favor of one, now of the other. Someone dies, as is predicted by the first victim in the incipit of the novel, indeed, there are two people killed, and it is not easy to disentangle the various characters, who all have more or less a reason for crime. The environment in which we move is no longer Livorno but Fauglia, sweet and perverse Tuscan countryside, made of art, old dusty villas, unspeakable hatreds and resentments. Inherits are disputed, people die in mysterious circumstances, lawyers fight each other, there is even an authentic Michelangelo involved, art in the end wins over everything and blessed is he who can enjoy it fully, even redeeming the evil committed in a sort of Parnassus.

"A murder is a form of intimate bonding": The peculiar life of Patricia Highsmith, the writer of The Talented Mr. Ripley
Someone like Patricia Highsmith wrote about antiheroes. Consider Tom Ripley, the "suave, agreeable, and utterly amoral" conman who is the main character of her 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. He travels over Europe by lying, cheating, and killing people, but he manages to win our sympathy in the process. Even over 70 years after he first appeared on the page, he is still incredibly captivating, which is why Ripley, the Netflix TV adaption starring Andrew Scott, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2024.
