edit data

Maurizio Manco (Gallipoli, 1963), è laureato in Storia dell'Arte a Firenze, città dove vive e lavora, occupandosi di diritti civili, nella pubblica amministrazione. Schivo per natura, umanista malgrado l'uomo, verso cui nutre un fiducioso scetticismo, coltiva masochisticamente il benefico disagio del pensiero, sempre in bilico tra sogno e disincanto, idealismo e cinismo. Pratica ossessivamente il “vizio impunito” della lettura, con un'insana predilezione per gli scrittori suicidi; pesca perle letterarie e colleziona citazioni. Da quando è rimasto folgorato sulla via di Cioran, scrive aforismi,
tentando con alterno successo di affrancarsi dall'imprinting del maestro di stile, ma senza giungere al parricidio.
