traduzione di Giuliana Zeuli Guida Editori, 1990 191 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO. ’The Snapper’ - il marmocchio - è la storia umoristica di una gravidanza inaspettata che anziché generare drammi e tragedie si risolve in una esilarane commedia, che ci restituisce con incomparabile realismo l’atmosfera e i personaggi d’un quartiere dublinese. Nell’Irlanda cattolica e bacchettona, tra le mura di casa di una quieta famiglia operaia dublinese, divisa equamente tra il pub e la cucina di casa, si cela un segreto: la piccola Sharon è incinta. Sharon Rabbitte ha vent’anni e trascorre il suo tempo nel pub a spettegolare con le amiche. Il padre di una di queste, un tranquillo vicino di casa dei Rabbitte, una sera in cui è ubriaco, costringe Sharon a un rapporto non voluto. Il risultato è lo snapper. Che fare? Dirlo in famiglia? Dirlo alle amiche, al fratello, agli amici del fratello, col rischio che tutto il pub e il quartiere lo sappia? Tra tanto scompiglio, l’unico imperturbabile è lo snapper che tira dritto per la sua strada. Commedia degli equivoci, in cui la tenerezza fa tutt’uno con le innocenti oscenità del proletariato urbano, ’The Snapper’ continua la saga della famiglia Rabbitte, cominciata con ’I Commitments’. Roddy Doyle è nato a Dublino nel 1958. Il suo primo racconto ’I Commitments’, pubblicato in Italia dalla Guida editori, è stato un successo internazionale di critica e di pubblico (ne è stato tratto anche un film diretto da Alan Parker). Di prossima pubblicazione presso la Guida editori la sua ultima opera ’Paddy Clarke Ha Ha’, selezionato per il Brooker Prize, e bestseller in Inghilterra.
