Crónicas del desorden

Faced with immediacy and noise, Teresa Cremisi questions with a clinical eye the latent behaviors and attitudes in our society; without Manichean morals, she extracts l'air du temps from any apparently anecdotal fact. Supported by tradition and a true cosmopolitanism, the author invites us to think, through texts of enormous stylistic precision, about literature and art, politics, nature, science or psychology. Boris Johnson and Brexit serve her as well as the symbiosis between ants and acacias, the French literary rentrée or how to cope with a duel thanks to Candy Crush. Observing carefully and with an intelligently comic distance our often absurd times, Cremisi defends the importance of morality and public debate -of civilization- in the face of contemporary disorder.
