Ett år som detta när den ene hävdar att försöka hoppa från Liljeholmsbron är konst och en annan säger detsamma om en videofilm om en person som klottrar ner en tunnelbanevagn, så får vi här vägledning av Ernst Billgren.

Le mani che si bloccano sulla tastiera di un pianoforte e si rifiutano di suonare, durante un concerto in Giappone. Una crisi di ansia, una contrattura di ogni muscolo, persino quelli della creatività. Che succede? Per venirne a capo, il protagonista di questo libro si rifugia in una casa di campagna. Solo, circondato da una natura brulla, tenta di sintonizzare di nuovo mente e corpo, per riprendere a comporre e suonare, ma gli incubi lo perseguitano e l'incertezza aumenta. Finché un giorno, nel silenzio di una radura, una voce lo prega: "Accudiscimi".

Keiner haut die Sprüche schneller raus als der Lockenträger aus Essen-Kray. Kein Klischee ist ihm fremd: „Liebling der Frauen“, „der Kumpel im 911er“, der „prollige Kioskbesitzer aus dem Ruhrgebiet“! Seit über 20 Jahren steht Atze Schröder auf dem Matterhorn der Comedy. Und alle wollen wissen, wie die Welt hinter den Gläsern der blaugetönten Alpina-Pilotenbrille aussieht.

L'ultima vita di Carmelo Bene. Dobbiamo essere grati a Luisa Viglietti – scrive Goffredo Fofi – di averci restituito un Carmelo Bene quotidiano, semplice e vicino ma pur sempre diverso e anzi unico: gli ultimi anni di un grande artista, attivo e progettante fino agli estremi momenti di una vita densissima. Disse qualcuno, e sapeva di dire un paradosso ma intuendone la verità, che spesso si impara di più leggendo le vite dei grandi filosofi di quanto non si impari leggendo le loro opere. E questo si pensa anche leggendo questi vivi e bellissimi ricordi.

Hans Holbein the Younger is chiefly celebrated for his beautiful and precisely realised portraiture, which includes representations of Henry VIII, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, Anne of Cleves, Jane Seymour and an array of the Tudor lords and ladies he encountered during the course of two sojourns in England. But beyond these familiar images, which have come to define our perception of the world of the Henrician court, Holbein was a protean and multi-faceted genius.

Jackson Pollock was without a doubt one of the twentieth century’s most controversial painters. He started out painting abstracts in the style of Pablo Picasso but soon branched out, establishing the “drip” method, which entails dripping or flinging paint directly onto the canvas. For this, he was both praised and demonized; still, he persisted on his own chosen path.

¿Qué singular parábola ocurrió para que un chico de un inquilinato de Valentín Alsina tuviera a los 22 años a América bajo la suela de sus zapatos? ¿Qué clase de invención es la de ese galán crepuscular que seducía en un escenario hasta conectado a tubos de oxígeno? ¿Qué tipo de epopeya encarna? ¿Qué extraño coraje tuvo para decidir someterse a un trasplante que fue, al fin, su último gesto de dignidad? ¿Cuál fue la máscara, la de Sandro o la de Roberto Sánchez?
