"I realized my creative energy was fading under the onslaught of reality, and I didn't have it in me to write three books in this milieu. I came dangerously close to quitting after book one, in fact - but I absolutely hate leaving stories unfinished (and readers disappointed) once I've begun a thing, so I finished this out of sheer bloody-minded stubborness."

It figures, dear NKJ, it feels throughout the book. I guess as Padmini would say that finishing something for finishing it takes out that little bit of chaos every story needs to sparkle. It's not that it's not good, because you're an amazing talent and writer, but it just feels forced upon you and tha page. That said, it's still better than most literature, so... thanks for it anyway.

PS: hope the meaning of this rant is not total moot as I'm not a native-tongue American-English speaker, but that's my tackle on the book :)
PPS: really loved you brought HPL back home... So much of the fantastic literature we read stems from him (disgusting person he was, but awesome world creator and horror monger) and yet so little is acknowledged.

nero ha recensito Uccido chi voglio di Fabio Stassi
Review of 'Uccido chi voglio' on 'Goodreads'
5 stelle
I primi due volumi di vince corso sono le prove generali un po' fumose e inconcludenti che Fabio Stassi usa per arrivare a questo libro in cui finalmente l'eco di Gadda diventa esplicita. Dismessi i panni dell'imitatore stassi riesce finalmente a scrivere una storia che ti convince e coinvolge, ti ammalia senza illuderti né deluderti troppo, omaggiando Gadda senza il timore di esserne accusato. Nei precedenti libri c'era troppa vanità che hanno scontato i lettori mentre in questo finalmente l'autore accetta se stesso e il libro che cercava. O almeno così mi è parso ma ogni lettore è un'ombra, o viceversa lo è ogni storia?
nero ha recensito I miei giorni alla libreria Morisaki di Satoshi Yagisawa
Review of 'I miei giorni alla libreria Morisaki' on 'Goodreads'
3 stelle
Un libretto molto normale, talmente normale da non meritare neanche una valutazione negativa. Faccio fatica a capire l'hype con cui è stato lanciato. Mah.
