Lacrime Degli Dei
Simone Marcacci e un narratore di favole vere, e in questa nuova raccolta poetica esercita e sfida la sua capacita di reinventare: la sistemazione del libro in capitoli dedicati alle grandi civilta del passato (mentre si squaderna un diario privato ricco di episodi esemplari) allude forse alla continuita delle cose umane, che appunto ci lega a chi fummo e ci avverte di fare attenzione a chi saremo. Gli echi dei tempi che furono, e le suggestioni di imprese che hanno costruito i popoli nei tempi, appaiono come appena sullo sfondo di un gran disegno, come cerniere a tenere ferma una costruzione impareggiabile, da custodire perche tale, e perche nostra. E il titolo stesso, nel richiamare una mitologia fuori del tempo, non e un'altra spia di quanto sia pericoloso guastare il mondo - se gli dei piangono e in quelle lacrime fanno cadere la speranza che noi si possa rimediare?

Nina Simone
Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has continued to be revered as a cultural icon and role model for scores of fans and fellow musicians. Much of her fame derives from her association with the civil rights movement, for which she wrote such classic songs as 'Mississippi Goddam', 'Four Women' and 'Young, Gifted and Black'. The defiance and affirmation of such anthems was accompanied by an equal dedication to songs of melancholy, yearning and spiritual questing. Placing Simone and her music firmly within the socio-historical context of the 1960s, this book also argues for the importance of considering the artist's entire career and for paying greater attention to her music than is often the case in biographical accounts. Simone defied musical categories even as she fought against social ones and the result is a body of work that draws upon classical and jazz music, country blues, French chanson, gospel, protest songs, pop and rock tunes, turning genres and styles inside out in pursuit of what Simone called "black classical music". The book begins with a focus on the early part of Simone's career and a discussion of genre and style.Connecting its analysis to a discussion of social categorization (with particular regard to race), it argues that Simone's defiance of stylistic boundaries can be seen as a political act.From here, the focus shifts to Simone's self-written protest material, connecting it to her increasing involvement in the struggle for civil rights. The book also provides an in-depth account of Simone's 'possession' of material by writers such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Sandy Denny and Judy Collins, while exploring the relationship between the personal and the political. In considering material from the Simone's lesser-known work from the 1970s to the 1990s, the study proposes a theory of the "late voice" in which issues of age, experience and memory are emphasised. The book concludes with a discussion of Simone's ongoing legacy.
