The Book of Trespass: Crossing the Lines that… par Nick Hayes
A intriguing and somewhat undefinable book, covering a vast array of topics, such as mental health, countryside matters, life science, ecology, the political nature of freedom, people trafficking and human failings.

Woody Guthrie è stato uno dei maggiori interpreti della canzone popolare americana della prima metà del Novecento. Woody è riuscito a mettere in musica il disagio sociale della crisi del ’29, con una musica che è andata oltre il contesto storico, cantata e arrangiata nuovamente da Peter Seeger, Bob Dylan e Bruce Springsteen. La musica di Woody, la sua splendida “this land is your land” hanno contribuito, insieme alla migliore letteratura americana, Steinbeck su tutti, a renderci un’immagine di quegli Stati Uniti. Nick Hayes è bravo ad utilizzare un tono monocromatico per raccontare la vita di un uomo che ha contribuito a scrivere la storia della musica americana: fame, disperazione, dolore, speranza, successo ed amore, sono tutti sostantivi che fanno parte della narrazione americana. Bella l’introduzione di Francesco e Gregori.… (plus d'informations)
If this fictionalized interpretation of Woody Guthrie has any truth to it, then Woody Guthrie was an ass who I would have hated. It doesn't take away from the power of his music, but it certainly takes away from the power of this book. Reading this book was a dreary, unrewarding chore.
