Storia naturale dell'occhio di Simon Ings
L'organo della vista, lungi dall'essere strumento di misurazione 'oggettiva' del mondo, permette d'interpretare soltanto una frazione della realtà. Vedere è un problema di relazione tra le cose, ed è un'attività differenziata e complessa, adattata a diversi scopi, negli adulti, nei bambini, negli uccelli o negli insetti.

Il peso dei numeri di Simon Ings
Un'attrice di soap-opera, un genio dei numeri, un trafficante di uomini sono alcuni dei protagonisti di questa storia che si sviluppa dal bombardamento di Londra del 1943 fino ai nostri giorni. Coincidenze e casualità renderanno la sequenza narrativa imprevedibile e spiazzante tanto che cominciando in Florida nel 1965 terminerà nello stesso luogo nel 1968. Come è possibile? Potere dei numeri!
