The debut novel by Stefano Donno, published in 1999 and presented here
in a revised version by the author, is a slap in the face, an insult to
good manners, or, more simply, one of the most intense love stories and
poignant that they were never told, simply because the two protagonists
Charles Bukowski and Anais Nin, represent two distant worlds and two
different ways of writing, poetry, sexuality, life.
The mechanism is engaging narrative, just a few pages to be attached to Bukowski character, then the uneasy man who does not want to admit his feelings, raw and sincere at the same time. But who, reading between the lines poems by American author, does not realize that this brutality is hidden behind a great soul?
The gamble of Donno is realized in assuming a relationship between the two stars of the literature of the last century, but it is also true that it all starts and ends as a film, as a Hollywood movie, retaining the cinematic sequences, the speed, the shots and passes from the scene. The author seems to take communicate that this is a fairy tale, a tale told with dirty tools of contemporary art, bringing together an ambition pulp and post-modern with a definite rhythm, that of the film.
