Imagine that Leopold von Sacher-Masoch goes for a night of absinthe-fuelled depravity with Jules Verne, and the two writers plan a collaborative work of erotica together. The manuscript is lost, but is then rediscovered by H.P. Lovecraft, who makes certain changes to the narrative, retaining the erotic and the technological, but adding in elements of weird horror. The result would be a little like The Eradication of Vice series—gothic steampunk femdom.

Hooray, it's Christmas! Mary Brown's favorite time of year, and she embraces it with the sort of thrill and excitement normally reserved for toddlers seeing jelly tots. Our funny, gorgeous, and bonkers heroine finds herself dancing from party to party, covered in tinsel, decorating the Beckhams' Christmas tree, dressing up as Father Christmas, declaring live on This Morning that she's a drug addict, and enjoying two Christmas lunches in quick succession.

A chance meeting with an old school friend sends Mary Brown off on three fabulous adventures. First, it’s to a safari in South Africa. She arrives dressed like Meryl Streep in Out of Africa and ends the trip stuck in a tree wearing nothing but her knickers.

When she realises that she can't cross her legs and has trouble bending over to tie her shoelaces without wheezing like an elderly chain-smoker, it's time to take action. So, one rainy day she puts down her pizza and heads off to Fat Club, where she flirts, causes mayhem, and celebrates every pound lost with a huge glass of wine.

“Ho l’idea che dovrò inventare un nuovo nome per i miei libri, con cui sostituire romanzo”. È il 27 giugno 1925, la scrittrice è pronta per il suo nuovo libro. Ne conosce già il nome proprio, ma non ne conosce il genere, né il nome comune. Ne anticipa però il tono: sarà un’elegia – al Faro. Non ha dubbi riguardo a chi l’elegia sarà dedicata. Quel to è preposizione che in inglese non indica semplicemente un moto a luogo; non è solo il vettore di uno spostamento, un possibile o impossibile approdo al Faro.

Maurizio D'Andrea in "Eclissi di mente" ci propone uno di quei suoi racconti spot da leggere tutto di un fiato e che lasciano in bocca il retrogusto della riflessione forte e profonda. L'autore attraverso un linguaggio semplice, fluido, ma non privo di spessore narrativo, ci presenta tematiche molto forti come quelle dei senzatetto e della depressione. Ma D'Andrea più che raccontare il disagio apre fronti di discussione che ammaliano il lettore e lo interrogano su tanti aspetti della vita quotidiana.

"Di stanze vuote" è una silloge di venticinque componimenti e aforismi dell'autore. Il titolo "Di stanze vuote" sembra un voluto gioco di parole: leggendo a voce alta può infatti diventare "Distanze vuote". Sono spazi vuoti lasciati dai momenti difficili nei percorsi umani, là dove non c'è una fede a sostenerli. Sarebbero eterne stanze vuote tutte le vicende della vita e tutti gli stati d'animo delle persone se non ci fosse qualcosa a dare un senso a tutto quello che ci circonda. È una metafora ampia e ricca di sfumature, che a sua volta il lettore può riempire con la propria visione delle cose.
