Lungamente annunciato negli Stati Uniti e attesissimo dagli appassionati di jazz, Fulmini a Kansas City è il primo capitolo della biografia che lo studioso e narratore afroamericano Stanley Crouch ha dedicato a Charlie Parker, il più grande sassofonista di tutti i tempi. Frutto di studi pluriennali, di ricerche e interviste sul campo, e animato da una prosa brillante e immaginifica, il libro ricostruisce la vita leggendaria di «Bird» negli anni che vanno dalla nascita nel 1920 fino al 1940: l’infanzia nella Kansas City dominata dalla malavita di Tom Pendergast e dallo swing delle territory bands; il rapporto con una madre iperprotettiva e allo stesso tempo troppo permissiva; il matrimonio a soli sedici anni e una paternità troppo precoce; la fascinazione per la musica, il cinema, la tecnologia, l’avventura; l’incontro drammatico con la droga; il trasferimento, infine, a New York, capitale del jazz moderno, con cui si sarebbe aperta la seconda, più matura fase della vita di Parker. A metà fra il saggio e il racconto, fra l’affresco di un’epoca e il romanzo di formazione, Fulmini a Kansas City è un vividissimo quanto inedito «ritratto dell’artista da giovane».

“A tour de force. . . . Crouch has given us a bone-deep understanding of Parker’s music and the world that produced it. In his pages, Bird still lives.” — Washington Post A stunning portrait of Charlie Parker, one of the most talented and influential musicians of the twentieth century, from Stanley Crouch, one of the foremost authorities on jazz and culture in America. Throughout his life, Charlie Parker personified the tortured American artist: a revolutionary performer who used his alto saxophone to create a new music known as bebop even as he wrestled with a drug addiction that would lead to his death at the age of thirty-four. Drawing on interviews with peers, collaborators, and family members, Stanley Crouch recreates Parker’s Depression-era childhood; his early days navigating the Kansas City nightlife, inspired by lions like Lester Young and Count Basie; and on to New York, where he began to transcend the music he had mastered. Crouch reveals an ambitious young man torn between music and drugs, between his domineering mother and his impressionable young wife, whose teenage romance with Charlie lies at the bittersweet heart of this story. With the wisdom of a jazz scholar, the cultural insights of an acclaimed social critic, and the narrative skill of a literary novelist, Stanley Crouch illuminates this American master as never before.

Questa è una storia alla rovescia, è una vita sottosopra. Ci sono le cadute e poi le ascese, le discese prima delle salite. Qui si muore e dopo si nasce, prima si perde e poi si vince. Decide di partire dalla fine, Marco Ciriello, per raccontare Marco Pantani. Tutto inizia dal buio di quel terribile 14 febbraio 2004 nel quale il campione romagnolo perse la vita, per poi procedere a ritroso come ne La freccia del tempo di Martin Amis. Pagina dopo pagina, Pantani ricomincia a vivere: il suo cuore riprende a battere, i suoi piedi premono di nuovo sui pedali e la sua vita vibra ancora una volta tra coraggio e paure, imprese e agonie, vittorie e solitudini. A un tratto ricompaiono i suoi avversari, quelli nuovi e i più vecchi, e le montagne sul- le quali inerpicarsi veloce come il vento; ritornano Madonna di Campiglio, la rabbia e lo sconcerto, il Tour de France vinto e il Giro d'Italia dominato. E in questo incedere al contrario si aprono scorci inaspettati, si creano legami e connessioni tra eventi, luoghi e persone all'apparenza lontanissimi: e così Pantani, più che un «pirata», ci sembrerà l'ultimo re mongolo; la sua Romagna un pezzo d'Asia nel cuore d'Italia; il suo corpo, come lo furono quelli di Aldo Moro e Pier Paolo Pasolini, il simulacro di un'intera nazione. Marco Ciriello racconta Marco Pantani come non era mai stato fatto prima e lo fa assumendo un punto di vista obliquo, capace di cogliere la complessità di un eroe tragico e di rileggere in una chiave nuova una vicenda (sportiva, umana, collettiva) tra le più straordinarie, coinvolgenti e drammatiche dei nostri tempi. Fino alla fine, dove tutto ha inizio.
