"Farris modella con perizia parole e frasi, raffigura vivide immagini e metafore che ci persuadono della naturalità di una trasmutazione da umano a vegetale senza traumi o mostruosità."

Review: Nessun Uomo è Mio Fratello

Author: Clelia Farris

Genre: sci-fi, dystopia

Year: 2008

Notes: winner of the Odissea Award in 2009. The title literally means: “no man is my brother”. No english translation is available.

Enki Tath Min is the son of a rice farmer in a futuristic Indonesia. He grows up in the country helping his father and spending time with his friends. He doesn’t have a good relationship with his father, and as they grow all his friends seem to find their own path easily, all while Enki is stuck with his violent, stubborn father. To make things worse, he’s a Victim.

In this future, everyone gains a mark on their skin as they grow up, either a C or a V. V is for vittima, C is for carnefice. Victim and Executioner. Marks are usually kept hidden with clothes or cosmetics, and are seen as something incredibly private: after all, every Victim has their own Executioner, and if their marks match, the Executioner can kill their victim without repercussions. This division of the population in these two categories has a special influence on society: Victims tend to be meek and to stay away from violence, even at the cost of suffering, while Executioners are self-confident at best and bullies or oppressors at worst. The perception of one’s mark changes a person’s character, or maybe it is the marks that simply determines it? Many scientists conduct studies of the social and medical role of marks. But Enki has much else on his mind, and it’s the second half of the novel which becomes interesting, as it takes almost a hard-boiled vibe. Enki finds a special job, one that leads him to many unexpected discoveries.

This was my first Clelia Farris novel, read after so many friends had recommended me her work. I can’t say I’m disappointed: her style is incredibly simple (in the best sense of the word) and fresh, guaranteeing a pleasurable read that will help your immersion in the story. I really loved they way she choose to deal with the Victim/Executioner binary, and how it influences society. I really love when sci-fi is focused on the impact on society: as a reader I’m not really interested in knowing how space travel is possible, but I want to know everything about how it changes society and everyone’s daily life. This is why enjoyed the second part of the novel far more than the first, since he moves to a big city and we get see much more different types of mark-bearers. I honestly did not enjoy the section set in the country as much, especially because he is, as a character, just less interesting. Which is why I have to admit I was a bit disappointed by how many women he manages to seduce, I felt like it added nothing to the plot except boredom at the umpteenth description of a beautiful, seductive woman with rosy lips and whatnot. Yes, this falls at least in part within the realm of personal tastes, but come on, there isn’t a female character he doesn’t have sex with (or he doesn’t dream about it). Sure, we get hints that he is good looking, but I felt it was most unnecessary. Or maybe I’m just easily bored by this kind of scenes, especially when they are present in a very good book like this one.

That being said, the positive traits of this book outnumber the negative ones, and the second part makes the book a very compelling read. The interesting themes abound: self-determination, freedom of choice and how can a person craft their own destiny are just examples (no spoilers!) and there’s more than enough to keep the sci-fi fan glued to the page.

Future Science Fiction Digest # 1 by Alex Shvartsman, Mike Resnick, Lawrence M Schoen, Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, Clelia Farris, Walter Dinjos, Dantzel Cherry, Steve Kopka and Liang Ling (emag review)

‘Future Science Fiction Digest’is a new quarterly magazine featuring translations of international Science Fiction. It’s an oddity of the genre that the subject matter ranges across the universe but most of the well-known works come from the English-speaking world. The rest of planet Earth likes Science Fiction, too, and even writes good examples of it. There have been a few good anthologies of…

The short story "A Day to Remember" ("Un giorno da ricordare") by Clelia Farris was published for the first time in 2017 by Strange Horizons in the translation by Rachel Cordasco.

Olì is a memory artist: she doesn't just eliminate ugly memories cutting them out to leave the good ones but she modifies them to improve them. After the Great Frost there are many people who feel the need to forget something or at least to have pleasant memories and as payment they give Olì food or other items useful to her or to barter.

"Siccità e desertificazione degli habitat sono la norma nella società del futuro immaginata da Farris, nella quale una Organizzazione mondiale del Clima aiuta le popolazioni a spostarsi sempre più a nord, alla ricerca di territori coltivabili."

FANTAITALIA - Gli originali romanzi di Clelia Farris fra tecnologie e superstizioni

FANTAITALIA – Gli originali romanzi di Clelia Farris fra tecnologie e superstizioni

Non si nasconde certo dietro uno pseudonimo, come Elena Ferrante, ma sembra che Clelia Farris, come altri grandi scrittori del calibro di Thomas Pynchon o J. D. Salinger, non ami molto pubblicare immagini che la ritraggono, quindi non ho la più pallida idea di che volto abbia.

Le opere, invece, siamo in molti a conoscerle: hanno lasciato tutte un segno.

Ciao,

questo post lo voglio dedicare ad una scrittrice italiana che mi appassiona molto: Clelia Farris, cagliaritana e laureata in Psicologia. Ha uno stile molto particolare con ambientazioni particolari e forse estreme. L’ho scoperta grazie al suo primo romanzo: Rupes Recta, vincitore del premio Fantascienza.com 2004.

Ecco i 4 romanzi attualmente scritti da Clelia Ferris:

Rupes Recta – 2004 Delos editore (vincitore del premio Fantascienza.com 2004);

Nessun uomo è mio fratello – 2009 Delos editore (vincitore del premio Odissea 2009);

La pesatura dell’anima – 2011 Kipple Officina Libraria  (Premio Kipple 2010)

La giustizia di Iside – 2012 Kipple Officina Libraria

Unico racconto che ho letto è “Chirurgia Creativa” edito nel 2015 nella collana FutureFiction.

Volevo segnalare questa intervista a Clelia (vedi link).
