  • Christina Stead è stata una scrittrice australiana. Nei suoi libri sono presenti molti tratti della tradizione letteraria e culturale del romanzo inglese, pur con degli accenti intensi (e talvolta persino violenti) che rendono assai personali i suoi esiti artistici. Esordisce nel 1934 con la raccolta , accolto abbastanza favorevolmente dalla critica. Nello stesso anno dà alle stampe il suo primo romanzo Sette poveracci di Sydney, corale ricostruzione della Sydney anni venti con i suoi conflitti sociali e politici. Segue House of All Nations, nel 1938, accolto dalla critica come il suo lavoro più complesso e maturo anche per la sicurezza con cui affronta temi politici. Nel frattempo la Stead si è trasferita in Europa e, da qui, negli Stati Uniti. Di ambientazione americana è infatti L'uomo che amava i bambini (Adelphi, 2004), del 1940: ritratto spietato e ironico di una famiglia di Washington D.C. simile, molto simile, a quella in cui è cresciuta la stessa Stead. Seguono, nel 1945, Sola per amore e, l'anno successivo, (Adelphi, 2004), unanimemente considerato il suo capolavoro. Il premio Nobel Saul Bellow la considerava una delle scrittrici maggiori in lingua inglese che il Novecento avesse conosciuto. In particolare Bellow fu sedotto dalla lettura de Il piccolo hotel (1973), breve e tagliente romanzo apparso per la prima volta in edizione italiana nel 2008. (it)

  • And Nelly turned to her and laughed a horrible laugh. She startled herself. She paused to light another cigarette, choking, blowing a cloud to hide her face; and when she could, continued in a gentle voice: "You will do me a favour? Save me from disillusionment. Let the man coming back with you on Wednesday be a sensible man, who admits it all, defeat and hopelessness and the bitterness; but sanity." "But I don't know why I should," said Camilla, seriously. "Won't you do what I ask, love? I know him, poor lad. I know what's best. I don't want him roaming the countryside, footloose and aimless and perhaps in some pub, on some roadside pick up some other harpy, instead of swallowing the bitter pill and facing the lonely road."

  • 'How suburban!' cried Elvira. I was in Hampstead the other day: in front of one of the richest houses was a crazy pavement: they paid about £35 for it, doubtless. The man who would have done it best was in an asylum : he would have done it for nothing, happy to do it, and the more there is of it, the more dull and plain it looks, just an expanse of conventional craziness, looking as stupid as a neanderthal skull. That's the suburbs all over. That's what we are, you see: suburban, however wild we run. You know quite well, in yourself, don't you, two people like us can't go wild? Still, it's nice to pretend to, for a while.' (en)
  • They went on playing quietly and waiting for Sam and for their turns to see Mother. Bonnie meanwhile, with a rueful expression, was leaning out the front window, and presently she could not help interrupting them, 'Why is my name Mrs Cabbage, why not Mrs Garlic or Mrs Horse Manure?' They did not hear her, so intent were they, visiting each other and inquiring after the health of their respective new babies. They did not hear her complaining to Louie that, instead of being Mrs Grand Piano or Mrs Stair Carpet, they called her Garbage, 'Greta Garbage, Toni Toilet,' said she laughing sadly, 'because they always see me out there with the garbage can and the wet mop; association in children's naïve innocent minds you see!' 'Oh no, it isn't that, protested Louie, Garbage is just a funny word: they associate you with singing and dancing and all those costumes you have in your trunk!' 'Do you think so?' Bonnie was tempted to believe. 'Mrs Strip Tease?' (en)
