My new book is starting to find its way in the world

[ptram]

Hi,

Not that I’m really a writer, but a book of essays that I curated, for which I wrote the introduction and a series of notes, is the second among the recommended books of the week in one of the two best selling newspapers in Italy.

And it’s a book on two not really popular composers of the past. The small publisher I collaborated with continues to be a magic seller.

The introduction required collationing an incredible amount of documents. It also required a huge number of rewriting, to shrink it into a manageable size for an introduction, and not make of it a separate book.

For this, you can imagine how great it was working with the two editors side-by-side in Scrivener, and how precious the snapshots were.

PS: Bulgakov, take that!

Congratulations! Your child has made its way into the world…

Funny thing. My clock radio always wakes me up by switching on at the start of broadcasting from the national culture radio station. Wakes is a strong word for me, at 6 in the morning.

While still asleep, I was aware of still mixing the emerging reality and a voice still calling my name from my dreams.

Only, it was not exactly from my dreams. The first program of the day was a three-quarter-hour session with my book.

The country awoke with my words. I hope this made a better day for many!
