✨ **Trama in breve** Gea ha ventisette anni e vive sui Navigli di Milano, in un piccolo mondo tutto suo da cui raramente si allontana. In un’epoca che corre veloce e guarda lontano, lei sceglie di restare vicino: aggiusta oggetti, li rimette in circolo, lascia in giro poesie e piccoli messaggi, convinta che ogni cosa possa avere una seconda possibilità. Circondata da personaggi fuori dal comune – e decisamente lontani dalla sua età – Gea sembra sospesa, come se non trovasse davvero il suo posto nel mondo. Forse anche a causa di un passato ingombrante e di paure che non è mai riuscita a sistemare, proprio lei che ripara tutto. Quando una vecchia bottega di rigattiere, il “Nuovo mondo”, rischia di sparire per sempre, Gea decide di fare qualcosa: salvarla. Quella missione diventa molto più di un gesto concreto — è l’occasione per affrontare sé stessa, immaginare un futuro diverso e, forse, iniziare finalmente a vivere davvero. Perché a volte, ciò che proviamo a salvare… finisce per salvare noi. 💬 **Cosa faremo insieme?** * Condivideremo i passaggi che ci hanno colpito di più * Parleremo di Gea: la capiamo? la critichiamo? la abbracciamo? 😄 * Scopriremo somiglianze e differenze tra lei e noi ❓ **Spunti per la discussione:** * Ti sei sentita rappresentata da Gea? * In quali aspetti ti riconosci? * Dove invece senti distanza dal suo modo di affrontare la vita? Non è necessario aver letto il libro per partecipare né condividere le proprie opinioni. Puoi acquistare il libro oppure prenderlo in prestito in biblioteca. 📍 **Dove:** Laghetto Parco nord Via Ornato– Milano, porta un telo perché staremo sul prato. 💸 **Contributo:** 5€ da inviare con paypal o satispay ☕ Consumazioni extra a carico di ciascun partecipante da poter prendere al bar "Sun Strac" sia durante l'evento sia dopo per chi avesse piacere di fermarsi. Un incontro leggero, senza pressioni, pieno di storie, punti di vista e magari anche qualche piccola “cosa che ci salva”. 💛 In caso di maltempo 🌧☂ l'evento verrà rinviato. gruppo whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t)

Hello everybody, I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch. Looking forward to a great time together!

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
