BG: Ho letto sul tuo sito che hai scritto per il teatro, la televisione e il cinema. Hai pubblicato 2 saggi sulla scrittura e 3 romanzi thriller/noir. Inoltre dal 1998 six entered the Order of Journalists and collaborate with various magazines. How do you reconcile all these activities? 
EB: I have always been writing. I started writing dramas and film scripts and then, to live, I chose to put at the service of print media. In fact, the hardest thing was to reconcile the narrative with all the other kinds of writing. The pace of the novel and the story is very different from that newspaper article or film script. For this alternate times when I devote myself to novels or short story and others in which other types of writing take over.
EB: Yeah, sure you can live by writing. Most of the friends that I hold it with the pen. Perhaps it is more difficult to live alone novels. Although the authors know, even if not famous, who are maintained with the proceeds of their books. We should be clear about what it means to "live writing" ... maybe you do not buy the house on the White Cliffs of Dover, but you can pay you more rent than that dignity.
BG: What are the things in your work as a writer that you love and those you hate? EB: To live all the lives I want. Playing in different roles. Inventing worlds, situations and atmospheres. The beautiful part of writing for me is this. I hate the show needed to follow the book sales.
BG: Let's talk about your novels. Happy hour is from the wrong and Female de Luxe. Only common denominator, the police inspector Maria Dolores Vergara. What you have in common with your character? EB: Maria Dolores Vergara lives and works in Milan, my town, believes in truth more than justice, love be alone, always gives a second chance and is on the side of women. Angrily if necessary, but only when necessary. I am a bit 'so too. The rest is a blend of reality and fantasy that I observe.
BG: In 2008 you were a finalist for the Premio Award Serbanenco Azzeccagarbugli and now. A surprise or you expect it? EB: I was a finalist dell'Azzeccagarbugli thanks to the votes of a panel of competent quality. An official confirmation of my work. From the wrong has not had an easy life. While it was appreciated very much, (it was among the twenty semifinalists Scerbanenco of 2007, that was a surprise),
not everyone liked the same way. The final dell'Azzecca I reiterated and supported. And I did very well. Premium Scerbanenco this year has changed the rules. We are all in the race, so still no emotion. We'll see. However I do not write for awards, this I understand.
BG: Tell us about your latest novel de Luxe Male. How did the idea? EB: Female De Luxe was founded by two female characters: Olga and Marta. Two very different women but obsessed by the same desire for perfection. The feminine aesthetics in the sense of aesthetic philosophy, are my issues this time. In this libro ho cercato di raccontare cosa può succedere a chi non riesce a trarre soddisfazione dalle cose che ha, e continua spasmodicamente a sbilanciarsi verso una presunta idea di sé magnifica e di successo. Ovviamente illusoria e irraggiungibile.
BG:Cavallo lesso e il Pazzo dell'arte come nascono questi personaggi? EB:Olmo (Cavallo Lesso) e Laio il diavolo (Il pazzo dell’arte), partono da una base di realtà, persone che incontro e su cui rifletto a lungo. Le frequento e cerco di entrare nella loro dimensione “delirante”, e poi ne traccio un ritratto. Filtrato dalla mia vena surreale.
BG:Come è il rapporto with your new publisher Perdisa Group Publisher?
EB: There is a new publishing house for me. I have already published two books with Alberto Perdisa. It 'was the first publisher who published my work. I was very young and he gave me confidence. The real news is the encounter with Luigi Bernardi. So I think that Female is a very significant point of my work.
BG: What would you like to read and what you refuse to pick up? EB: I do not reject anything a priori. Usually I read the first things they do not trust to have a real opinion. Booksweb.tv to devour an impressive number of thrillers and noir, Italian or otherwise. Fun and indifference are the two emotions most often. But lately I've even managed to get indignant. I would say that I like the books are able to invade the reader and leave him something to bring. A phrase, a thought, an atmosphere, a story. Are not similar to the yellow rose of pure entertainment. Or manuals on how to ensnare men demented or rent houses.
BG: Recommend three books that you liked and which you believe should be there in our personal library. EB: Among blacks, James Barlow, I'll be back soon, Sellerio. In the novels of formation, Simone de Beauvoir, Memoirs of a girl well, Einaudi (or any other of his), and among the latest releases Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami, Einaudi. But I could give you a different answer in a week ... beautiful books, past and present, thankfully, are many. Right now I'm re-reading the Wizard of Oz. Spirited.
BG: What are your future work in the pipeline? EB: I'm finishing the fourth Vergani. And I have to write a couple of stories in two anthologies that seem very interesting. A short story is soon to be released instead for a collection of all-female Sperling & Kupfer.
BG: We are at the end. How to close this interview, the police inspector Maria Dolores Vergara? EB: Probably off the computer, (she is decidedly less excited than me), hoping to have done everything possible to communicate to you the readers and how much passion is contained in his work. In this we are very much the same thing.
Thanks to Elizabeth for availability and for his wonderful books.
