Il Meglio del 2017 secondo Mario Calvitti
by Mario Calvitti
Premessa doverosa: la lista che segue non ha la pretesa di rappresentare il meglio dell'anno in termini assoluti (al giorno d'oggi chi è che ha la possibilità di seguire tutto quello che viene pubblicato?), né di voler definire una sorta di riassunto dell'anno appena trascorso, ma più semplicemente riflett quello che ho maggiormente apprezzato nell'ambito di ...

Joe Rosenberg: Tomorrow Never Knows
by Alberto Bazzurro
