"When The Dog Barks" (2020)

One quite long and two very short stories created and developed during the first two years of the pandemic-afflicted world's new order. A fictional exploration of the range of emotions associated with the lockdown, along with the many possible intended and unintended consequences, the grave downfalls, and the small triumphs occurring in an isolated, diffident world where a handful of characters struggle to find their identity ("The Tunnel at The End of the Light"). An experimental collection of narrative fragments, "Stage, Displaced" is recounted by different characters in different viewpoints, and touches on isolation, ambition, creative block, confusion, the search for peace, and murder. "How to Lose at Poker" is, apparently, a parable on the dangers of gambling and the self-doubts associated with risk-taking, but, on a deeper reading, it takes the reader on a surreal voyage of acceptance of failure and personal growth.
All written in a casual, conversational tone, and populated by honest, contemporary characters, these stories offer a hopeful perspective on human struggle and achievement in a time of alienation and fear.

Questo libro racconta la storia di una vita come fosse uno specchio, uno specchio che cade e si frantuma in quaranta schegge che ancora riflettono la realta`, ma solo in parte, lasciando alla memoria, all’immaginazione e alla speranza il compito di ricostruire un’idea, un’emozione, o un racconto.

Questo libro racconta la storia di una vita come fosse uno specchio, uno specchio che cade e si frantuma in quaranta schegge che ancora riflettono la realta`, ma solo in parte, lasciando alla memoria, all’immaginazione e alla speranza il compito di ricostruire un’idea, un’emozione, o un racconto. Dedicato a coloro che hanno ancora l’energia di lottare, ai sognatori e agli idealisti, ai visionari militanti.
