There are some books that affect you long after you stop reading them; there are some books that come back to you when you least expect it, and you want to suggest everyone read it at least once... yet you're shy to recommend it to many people because if they don't have the same experience with it you'll feel bad (and likely wonder what the hell is wrong with the recipient, the cold-hearted bastards...). Ahem. This is one of those books for me. It blew my mind about six years ago when it was first recommended to me by a guy who I soon thereafter moved in with and here we are, still together (not solely because of this book, but it didn't hurt when we realized the kinds of conversations we could have). I recommended it recently as the next book for our book club because it's been on my mind a lot lately and I wanted a good reason to re-read it, since lately I've been finding it hard to want to re-read anything (too many books, too little time). Viktor Frankl spent three years in concentration camps during World War II. During his time in the camps he was able to pull from the nightmare the principles behind what he later called logotherapy. In simple terms it's the concept that having meaning in one's life, a goal to work towards, is essential to be able to survive the harshest suffering. It seems like an easy enough concept, but so few people actually practice it; reading this a second time has revitalized the idea in my own mind. I think it's nicely summed up in a footnote: Logotherapy is not imposed on those who are interested in psychotherapy. It is not comparable to an Oriental bazaar but rather to a supermarket. In the former, the customer is talked into buying something. In the latter, he is shown, and offered, various things from which he may pick what he deems usable and valuable. So the real question is: Did Frankl blow my mind in this second reading? Yes.

Lucarelli, Carlo. VIA DELLE OCHE. (1996; US-2009). ****. None of us Americans can possibly understand all of the political shenanigans that went on in Italy after the War, unless, of course, you earned your PhD studying that. The Italians seem to have a love for taking multiple opposing sides of the political spectrum. Consequently, much of the background of this novel – the third in the author’s De Luca Trilogy – will simply go right over your head. What does matter is that De Luca still confines his objectives to seeing justice carried out, in spite of all the conspiracies going on around him. He is a policeman, and he has a job. In this episode, the body of a young man is found, murdered, in his room over a bordello in the Via Delle Oche. The setting is Bologna in 1948. De Luca finds himself back in the city as a Commissario. Election time is coming near, and all of the parties are jockying for control of the voters. The population is extremely excitable; riots break out at the slightest provocation. The young man is a custodian for the bordello. At the time, prostitution was legal in the city, as long as the establishments adhered to certain legal restrictions. Windows facing the street had to be closed at all times. The girls in each establishment had to be rotated every fifteen days – though we are never told the reason for this. The madams stayed. When De Luca examined the corpse, it was obvious to him that it was murder through simple observation. Although the young man, Ermes, was hanging from a noose, and the rest of the police force wanted to rule it a suicide, “De Luca glanced at him, quick, then walked over to Ermes and crouched down, his knees creaking again. He put the stool back on its legs, placing it directly under the toes of the man’s shoes, measuring the distance between them and the top of the stool. ‘It’s normal enough that a hanged man grows a little longer if he’s left a while,’ he murmured. ‘But I’ve never heard of one getting shorter.’” It’s tiny scenes like this that provide the spark in Lucarelli’s writing. Although the crime – and subsequent ones that are related – gets solved, Lucarelli ends the novel by leaving De Luca in a personal Limbo. Recommended.
