Camilleri Andrea Il tuttomio
Arianna ha appena compiuto trentatre anni, ma il suo temperamento e ancora deliziosamente infantile. Quando Giulio la incontra, in un giorno triste per entrambi, e subito conquistato da questa creatura smarrita, sel- vatica come una bimba abbandonata eppure bellissima e sensuale. Arianna entra nella sua vita con una naturalezza che lo strega e, dal giorno in cui la sposa, Giulio cerca di restituirle la luce che lei gli ha portato offrendo- le tutto cio che potrebbe desiderare: anche quello che lui, a causa di un grave incidente, non puo piu darle... Cosi nella loro routine entrano a far parte gli appuntamenti del giovedi, in cui Arianna si incontra con alcu- ni uomini pagati dal marito, tenuti a rispettare poche regole inviolabili. Ma i giochi di Arianna e Giulio sono troppo torbidi e coinvolgenti per non farsi pericolosi... Ispirato alia scandalosa vicenda dei marchesi Casati Stampa, II tuttomio mette in scena una protagonista femminile straordi- naria: inquietante nel suo candore, splendente di una luce nerissima.

Camilleri Andrea Un sabato, con gli amici
Le vite di Matteo, Gianni, Giulia, Anna, Fabio, Andrea e Renata detta Rena sono tutte segnate. Fin dall'infanzia, con traumi profondi che vanno a interrarsi in certe zone segrete della coscienza, e dalla giovinezza, che ci aggiunge il suo carico di turbamenti, di rivolte. Gli anni della maturitа potrebbero portare un inizio di pacificazione, se non altro perche le vite sembrano incanalate nei loro binari borghesi, ma non e cosi. Anzi, e proprio il contrario. Perche l'etа matura e il momento in cui i nodi vengono al pettine. Un sabato, con gli amici e un romanzo anomalo, in cui si sente fortissima la voce del Camilleri uomo di teatro, nella geometria delle relazioni tra i personaggi, nelle battute perfettamente calibrate, nelle cadenze stilizzate del tipico dramma contemporaneo: morboso, implacabile, assurdo.
