...burgeoning city's housing crisis. He then photographed the tenants inside their cramped, 120-sq.-ft. (11 sq m)homes (according to an essay at the back of the book, Wolf describes them in his project's title as being 100 sq. ft. simply because it sounds more "poetic"). Shot over the course of four days, these documentary portraits chronicle the quirks and particularities of the estate's mainly elderly residents, and their personal effects - from wall calendars and bunk beds to rice cookers and TV sets - lend themselves to being pored over at length.

Gone are the comedic acrobatics of past Zingaro productions. As Bartabas says, Darshan - meaning "vision of the divine" in Sanskrit - is a poetic meditation on "the horse as a vehicle for voyages in every sense of the term: voyages across countries and cultures, seasons and time, but also voyages within ourselves." Music as disparate as Tibetan chants and Mozart's masses plunges viewers into meditative states. Spectators are left to draw their own narrative from the flow of primal shadow images of warriors eating atop their mounts by twilight, processions of angels and demons, a meeting of primitive...
...Sicilian professor of pathological anatomy has come up with the latest and what is probably the least poetic explanation imaginable for why the woman looks the way she does: high cholesterol.

The Part About the Crimes, the longest section of the novel and its most infamous, unfolds 300 pages of stark summary, illustrating the various cases of kidnapping and murder that took place in and around Santa Teresa between 1993 and 1997. The narrative, based on the actual...
...nouveau swags on the façade of Art Hotel Boston, which despite its name is not in Massachusetts but in Turin, give no hint of the modern-art bonanza within. Guests check in beneath a poetic fusion of paint, cement and metal by Torinese artist Marco Gastini. A triptych by Roy Lichtenstein and a watercolor by Lucio Fontana hang in the bar. But it's the plethora of paintings, photographs and sculptures by lesser-known Italian talents - Luigi Ontani, Carla Accardi, Nicola Bolla - that suggest this is a private passion made public...
