Description
Not a book against love, emotional bonds, relationships. Rather, a text that questions the institution of marriage and couple dynamics that have stopped working for a while. Starting from the many questions and doubts that the observation of even famous models of seemingly established couples raises, an invitation to rethink emotional and loving life that does not necessarily involve marriage, children, and cohabitation. Laura Gramuglia has been telling the lives and paths of complex and revolutionary artists for years; stories often marked by the struggle for the affirmation of their talent and personality, and by the difficulty of reconciling this journey with personal and emotional life, in a stubbornly patriarchal environment. For this reason, she conceived this new booklet as a map, a collection of stories and protagonists worth knowing before heading towards well-known paths, routes too often traveled. Contro il matrimonio is also the formative essay of a woman who reaches that specific period of life in which the presence or absence of a person beside her, or of offspring, is inevitably at the center of an inquiry that for obvious reasons can no longer be postponed.
