Yellow Romagna interviews me

We carry an interview that Alexander Anguila me a few days ago. I'm really grateful (he even rhyme) Association Yellow Romagna, which will have a meeting before too long ... but then I'll get. Meanwhile, here is the interview (taken from Facebook):


I was lucky enough to read books Massimo Padua. I was lucky enough to move me with his characters, to experience them thanks to the precise and effective description, to hear my friends, my comrades in greed browse pages. A book of Padua put it away until they come to an end, with the strong temptation to start again. His numbers are 3 books in 5 years, 3 literary awards, 11 stories in many anthologies. His texts are adopted by various classes of high school in Ravenna. As he tells through his website, he studied in the arts, was a piano bar singer and actor, but is primarily a writer of Romagna.

For a writer who lives in Alford, the first question is almost obligatory. What is for you, the person and writer, Romagna? Romagna is a land that I love deeply, from which it difficult to separate them and in which I hope to live forever. I have lived up to fifteen years in Marina di Ravenna, a country that has stayed with me in the heart, although I can not deny that today would not even recognize. Or rather, it seems pretty obvious that what I remember no longer reflects the current reality. I am a person who sometimes tends to brood on old experiences, to remember the past, and for me the past is essential to Marina di Ravenna.

Considering all the elements that have generated your stories, there is a special place where they converge and recognition as an ideal setting? In all the stories and novels I wrote before the light blue daisies (there are at least four to five unpublished novels and strictly thirty stories), I never wanted to limit the events in an area too recognizable. I do not know why proceed in that way, maybe because I like to think that a player should be free to imagine what they want and freely identify with the characters, which probably would be more difficult if the scene was stifled by over-detailed descriptions. Then it happened that I wrote "The light blue daisies, a strange novel that I never planned on doing. It is a sort of autobiography encrypted contaminated by obvious forays into fantasy, but remains broadly as faithful narrative of my first thirty years of life. In this case, I could not fail to tell the city of Ravenna, and in particular the Navy. It was a great novelty, for me, because I realized that I could speak to me without much fear of showing my weakness ... and describe the locations I was deep help. And the same goes for the other two novels. The story of "The echo of the shells of glass is set in Marina di Ravenna, although it is not mentioned, while in the recent" The hypothetical absence of shadows, "the events unfold between Bologna and Ravenna. Therefore, drawing a bit 'to the previous answer, we say that the province of Ravenna, with its important history, its beaches, pine forests, the factories and the port, I think an ideal scenario where to move my characters and let live my worries.

is easy to find definitions that indicate crime fiction as a subgenre of the yellow. In addition to telling stories and solve a crime, a noir book aims to bring the reader to think, than what he read on the reality that surrounds him. Share this classification? Not completely. Recently, we tend to confuse yellow and noir. For my part, I think that noir is a genre second to none. In plots bleak, it is not necessary to include elements such as murder or termination thereof by figures such as inspectors, investigators and so on. I personally much more interested in the psychology of the characters, the "black" that lurks in all of us, the shadows in which we are forced to live or want to get rid of them. The noir is a condition of the soul, and investigations are most appealing to me those addressed in our person.

When we first met, you've moved away from the word noir writer Massimo Padua, then you surprise your audience with "The hypothetical absence of shadows", and through your blog you say that this book marked a way forward . Yellow Romagna We are a bit 'part, but we can hope for another novel noir? I can say absolutely yes. In fact, having made his debut with a novel sensitive, lyrical and at times quite poetic as "light blue daisies, my readers tend to identify with, to incorporate within this label. Of course, "The echo of the shells of glass" largely complied with these requirements. But I must admit that I am much more comfortable in describing more complex stories and plots, this one can not deny it, I like the idea of \u200b\u200bprovoking tension and desire in readers to discover the most terrifying aspects of the events. The next novel I have in mind, for example, may even be contaminated by influences almost horror ... but not too much: after all, as far as trying to hide it, are a very sensitive person!

Let's talk about you. Try making a jump to 6 years ago when I still had not published your first novel "The light blue daisies" (Winner of Opera Prima Città di Ravenna in 2005, and the Award again in 2005, second printing in 2010). What would you say to the Max?
Six years ago I had no idea what would happen to me. I had fun just to read and write stories that only a few trusted people. I've always been very insecure and I never had the courage before then, to submit my work to some editors. Then I was lucky enough to win the First Work, and from there a road that is open, as inaccessible and difficult, I think one of the most intriguing that there are. Therefore, a maximum of six years ago, I would say to be more quiet, work hard and not to fear the most (or at least not so much) the comparison with others and especially with himself. In the end, come to terms with his own shadow, can even be fun!
