A young chief of the police, head of the Les italiens team. Mordenti tells his stories in first person, with an irony that is often a pursuit of surreal metaphors, which remind us of Chandler. His character is tied to tradition, the tradition of the French roman policier, and also that of ‘40s and ‘50s noir movies, but is never a stereotype. A very human character, a borderline policeman, trapped in a burocratic and political structure that limits his freedom of action and his quest for truth. He always finds beauiful – and often as not dangerous or complicated – women on his path, and falls truly in love with them for the duration of the story. His involvment is always sincere, and it often interferes with the investigations. Mordenti, like most human beings, has a dark side to him, that would induce him to Enrico Pandiani violence, revenge and brutality. He sometimes gives in to it, and lives in Turin and is a never tries to hide his feelings (reminding us here of Izzo’s Fabio book designer.

Humour, fantasy and the end of the world all in one.

The Apocalypse (as in apostle John`s Revelation) started on the streets of Moscow. Graveyards are crowded by those risen from the dead. The course of the Apocalypse may be changed only by the Last Bride, killed in a car crash just after her wedding and risen from the dead. Satan sends his Duke demon Agares to find the girl. Angel Abaddon is assigned by Heaven to protect her. The Last Bride, with her guardian angel and demon, is pursued through apocalyptic Moscow by a mysterious stranger whose touch turns everything into gold, hired by three damned sinners looking forward to Judgment Day as the end of their penalty – eternal life. Meanwhile Satan gets ready for the final battle using advertising and multimedia. In Heaven angels and saints are getting ready for Judgment Day as well. After a thrilling fight the killer, who appears to be King Midas, is forced to touch himself and is turned into a golden statue. The Last Bride makes love with the angel and the demon meeting the secret condition of the Apocalypse cancellation. The angels Georgij Zotov discuss what has happened and apostle John tells them it was was born in Moscow the beta testing of the so-called «Apocalypse lite», it failed, but (then USSR) in 1971. the real Apocalypse starts in a month… He studied the Bible pp. 264 and Roman and Byzantine history.

Bulgaria WINNER OF THE 2016 EUROPEAN PRIZE FOR Perseus LITERATURE Hungary Metropolis Media Group Each with Their Own Lake is a short story collection composed of 14 stories that oscillate thematically around the imperilled urban landscapes of the city, around grief and ageing, and love and sadness, set by a restless inky lake. The short story Fire is an example of the instability of identity and the need to share the identity of narratives and real events; where fiction brings balance to the disproportionate relationship between truth and lies, and reality and fantasy. In this circle of stories we can also include the short fictions My Father, the Clock and the Short Story and My Mother, the Flood and the Short Story. These are tense, dramatic, melancholic, and ironic stories in which the existential abyss and the abyss of identity is compensated by the silent text of the writer, carefully retaining the mystery by protecting the right of mystery as the right of creative freedom and the right of free absence or existence. pp. 93

St. Francis as a young man was kind of a fashion designer. Joshua Slocum, the first to sail solo around the world, could not swim. Bruce Lee danced cha cha cha almost better than he is fighting. Fitzgerald wrote delirious recipes. Hemingway broke through to test the tailgate of a burning plane. Fifteen icons for fifteen stories. Fifteen characters related through a single, striking detail: Flaubert’s window always lit, Beckett’s shoes too tight, Jim Morrisson inscription on his grave reciting “True to his destiny” in greek. After all, on the tombstone of each of these characters might be engraved the same epigraph. Each of them pursued his own destiny to the very end and beyond, and this is why Morrison, Lawrence of Arabia, Rimbaud and all the other protagonists of this book continue to speak to us, illuminating even today our lives. By their example, with their works, or perhaps with a single detail, at first view negligible detail.
