About the author

Carlo Lucarelli was born at Parma, the son of a physician. He was interested in literature and theatre when he was young, and studied Literature and History. Nowadays he lives in Mordano near Bologna.

Already in his years of study, during his research for his thesis subject he got in touch with the material for his first two books, which take place during the time of fascism and the years immediately after the war. In Italy he became well known quite soon because of these two books, and it was only a matter of time before he quit his academic activities and turned to his career as an author and all other sorts of activities, such as writing plays, film scenarios, radio-plays and, moreover, singing in a Post-Punk-Band called "Progetto K".

He is a frequently invited moderator on an Italian television programme about crime (Blu notte misteri d'Italia). As a journalist he works for several newspapers and magazines, such as il manifesto, Il Messaggero and L'Europeo. He has written more than twenty novels, including Almost Blue, (City Lights, 2001) and numerous short stories. Together with Marcello Fois and Loriano Macchiavelli he founded "Gruppo 13", a collective of crime-writers in the region Emilia-Romagna.

Reviews

[Raffaele Pucci · Rating 4 out of 5]

Personalmente ritengo il libro, per quanto semplice o decontestualizzato a livello storico, una storia breve che riesce ad essere anche molto efficace nel modo in cui trasmette il messaggio. Oltre ad essere interessante il contrasto tra lo stampo realistico e l'evento surreale, trovo che l'idea, e come è stata concretizzata, sia originale e di forte impatto emotivo e riflessivo. È una breve esperienza che se letta con attenzione e non sottovalutata può dare tanto!

La tecnica scrittoria non sembra male, ma mi manca quella contestualizzazione minima per inquadrare la storia, e non voglio dovermi aprire un manuale intero di storia in separata sede per via di questa lacuna.

[Guido · Rating 2 out of 5]

Storia breve e incompleta.

[Fabiana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Breve ma intensa storia d'altri tempi, dove comunque le smanie "dei giovani" restano le stesse. Un piccolo spaccato di una brutta guerra e di una ancora più brutta battaglia.

[Victor · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was fairly well written but I don't quite know what to make of it. It seems it was supposed to have a point, but failing to quite make it

Gli orrori della guerra secondo Lucarelli. Niente di che.

[Alessandro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un racconto fantastico sullo sfondo della guerra colonialista in Etiopia. Molto carino e di facile lettura.
