33 Parte Kumpleto MatureFun and a bit of sex mixed with travels and introspection. That is "She Kills".
This novel was supposed to be the sequel of "Abat-Jour", my novel published by Inknbeans in 2015, that was about four guys and a series of trips to Spain in the summer of 2001 to provide a slice of life of a generation, mixed with irony, surreal meetings and a good dose of introspection. For those (all of you guys, I guess!) who didn't read "Abat-Jour": the story starts from the end: Daniele, the main character, has just come home from the last journey. As he rests on his bed, he looks back on what happened in his life in the last few months, inspired by shadows and things in his room. What comes out, in the shape of this journey, is a search for answers to questions of an entire generation. The narrator, Daniele, takes the reader jumping forward and back in months and years, collecting emotions and memories with a musical trace of U2's songs, always present. Everything finds its own place, eventually, in the puzzle of Daniele's memory illuminated in his Abat-Jour..
"She Kills" is also a fiction novel with 58.000 words estimated. It's about what happened to them from 2001 to 2015. I could say there's a mix of fiction and a true story in both of them. They're full of irony and weird situations but they mainly represent a generation between what it was before and after a critical age (the attacks of 9/11 represent a big divide). They were thirty years old but not ready to become men yet. The main character has a lover and a love story that changes him a lot in both novels. In the first one the girl was Eva, a Spanish girl who seems to be more than a summer story. The novel shows how bad things can go when you don't wanna grow up. In the sequel, there's a German woman named Ele who will bring Lele almost to craziness. At the end, despite all the weird, dramatic and funny situations, Lele realizes that there's no more time to waste in silly relationships in the worst possible way.
