La solitudine del maratoneta, che minimum fax ripubblica a sessant'anni dalla sua prima uscita, deve la sua fama a una suggestiva trasposizione cinematografica di Tony Richardson, ma soprattutto allo stile innovativo, e ancor oggi modernissimo, della scrittura di Sillitoe. La novella che dà il titolo alla raccolta è un lungo e inarrestabile fiume in piena di sessanta pagine che ripercorre, durante una maratona, i pensieri agitati di Colin Smith, un giovane scapestrato rinchiuso in un riformatorio che continuerà a chiedersi a ogni passo della sua gara per chi o per cosa stia correndo, trovando l'unica risposta possibile ormai quasi giunto al traguardo. Di racconto in racconto, Sillitoe ritrae un'Inghilterra proletaria, frustrata o ribelle, attraverso una serie di personaggi colti nella loro quotidianità e proprio per questo emblematici di uno dei periodi più fecondi della cultura britannica del Novecento. Difficile perciò pensare a un'opera che, più della Solitudine del maratoneta, possa ambire allo status di capolavoro del realismo inglese contemporaneo.

This novel of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell “captures the sisters’ seesaw dynamic as they vacillate between protecting and hurting each other” (The Christian Science Monitor). You see, even after all these years, I wonder if you really loved me. Vanessa and Virginia are sisters, best friends, bitter rivals, and artistic collaborators. As children, they fight for the attention of their overextended mother, their brilliant but difficult father, and their adored brother, Thoby. As young women, they support each other through a series of devastating deaths, then emerge in bohemian Bloomsbury, bent on creating new lives and groundbreaking works of art. Through everything—marriage, lovers, loss, madness, children, success and failure—the sisters remain the closest of co-conspirators. But they also betray each other. In this lyrical, impressionistic account, written as a love letter and an elegy from Vanessa to Virginia, Susan Sellers imagines her way into the heart of the lifelong relationship between writer Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell. With sensitivity and fidelity to what is known of both lives, Sellers has created a powerful portrait of sibling rivalry, and “beautifully imagines what it must have meant to be a gifted artist yoked to a sister of dangerous, provocative genius” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). “A delectable little book for anyone who ever admired the Bloomsbury group. . . . A genuine treat.” —Publishers Weekly
