Summary
Moving between different forms, and alluding to the different conditions of writing, whether film scripts, drama, letter writing, or mere notes for future projects, this is the first publication by Francesco Pedraglio and presents the possibility of a story within numerous other possible stories, each one marked by diversion, interuption and red herring. Concerned with the correlation between objects and writing, as well as the relationship between spoken word and written, his dark, absurd and often funny story, uses the corpse of narrative fiction as a character, whose repeated deaths generate the conditions for new starts, and differing scenarios.
