Settimana della Lingua Italiana: “Calcinculo – Swing Ride” di Chiara Bellosi

For each of us, there’s a different reason to jump on the ride. But when it starts spinning fast, it’s like flying and we don’t want to get off. This is what happens to Benedetta when she meets Amanda and decides to follow her into her vagabond world.

Benedetta, an obese fifteen-year-old yearning for attention, lives in a tawdry province in the south of Italy, emblematic of her inner landscape where everything could be and yet is not.
She falls in love with Armando, aka Amanda, a young transvestite who is attracted to the young girl’s innocence and begins an unhealthy relationship of mutual dependence with her. Amanda runs a carousel at the fair across the street from Benedetta’s house, and the girl is magnetically drawn to this colorful and exciting world. But Amanda not only runs the carousel, she’s also a call boy and sells drugs.
Between intoxication and family rebellion and the discovery of sex – a great disappointment – she completes her rite of passage into adulthood.

Sottotitoli in inglese.
