A reader known a meeting held at the Library of Larizza Solaro, after reading my book and be pleasantly surprised, he decided to give it away as a Christmas gift to its customers. Today I sent the letter that accompanies the book: a real review that has filled me with pride. The carry-over as it was written.
Dear,
here's to you, with so much dedication and autograph, a small (does not reach seventy pages) jewel of emotions such noir-surreal debut author Aaron Scott. One wrote
dry, fresh, fast, fast, to "a" modern, how, that is, we are encouraged to "feel" without metabolize, what we live, and as such, engaging and exciting. Full of twists, rarely granted, maintains tension thanks to the brevity seemingly simple stories.
Somewhat biographical situations with "bizarre" experienced by many (remember the blackout a few years ago in Northern Italy? Or when young once you happened to go down in the basement of the school?). Descriptions quick, incisive, realistic always take the high suspense, and induce those who read to eliminate any control exercised by reason, leading her out of any aesthetic or moral concern. Lost in reverie you find yourself living in real time the experiences recounted, as if we were on the scene (possibly behind the scenes), free to roam between light and darkness, in the twilight zone.
And the pathos that takes us remember that heard while watching some movies of Hitchcock (Rear Window), Rod Serling (some episodes of "The Twilight Zone"), David Lynch (Mulholland Drive), by Geoffrey Sax (White Noise).
The circumstances of personal life, as common and sometimes daily, and the style used to convey a compelling sense of uneasiness and embarrassment masochism celabili hard, and make us think about what would we do if we read what had happened to us.
If, then, you are fortunate enough to know the author, as has happened to this writer, and understand how this is a telling glimpse into the reality of his life, that same Aaron was able to make credible although seemingly impossible, well then, all becomes frightening!
With the hope that you start to read it (sure, at that point, you will not stop) I hope I can remain paralyzed and speechless, disappointed to have had only seven stories in the hands of Aaron Scott.
Merry Christmas!
