Tu Che Conosci Gli Uomini

Tu che conosci gli uomini

I am fascinated by people
who have the ability to take in
the whole world without losing themselves.
“Tu che conosci gli uomini” unravels both sweet passion
and deep vitality,
sexual ambiguity and the search for absolute love.

Il Garbuglio Di Garlasco

Il garbuglio di Garlasco

A perfect culprit
and the stubborn search for the truth.

'A book on the Garlasco murder
15 years after the events:
what can be said that is new and unsaid?
"Nothing new but a lot unsaid.
So much that, despite being in the testimony,
in the procedural papers, in the expert reports, and even
in the logic, had remained buried in the bulky
files of the courts. The book brought to light
everything that lurked in, on and beside
the facts we know. Everything that was not
visible in the bare chronicle, but was there."
[from an interview with Simone Toscano]

Before we say goodbye

Once written, a novel walks
with its legs through the world and meets
its reader, and what the book
and the reader say to each other is a different and private matter each time.
Certainly, however, I felt a great
emotion every time an Israeli
or Palestinian reader told me: this book
made me cry, this book
made me see a piece of reality.
Or even: I found things in this book that I may
have already known but was unaware I knew.

Freedom

Sticko

Short story in the anthology Freedom

In this anthology of short stories, each dedicated
to an article of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, I have the honour of being with
some of the greatest and most popular writers on earth,
including two Nobel Prize winners for Literature. As the only
Italian writer, I dedicated my short story
to the crime of torture, giving a dreamlike voice to a young
protagonist of the events of the G8 in Genoa.

While as a journalist I am expected
to remain at some distance from events, I must expect as
a writer to do the opposite: eliminate the distance
and delve into these events, to undertake a journey
from which both I and the reader return
irreparably drenched in sorrow.
