I must say that in literature my percentage of Italian works is not much lower than that of foreign ones, unlike music where it's at least 10 to 90. It might also be because a text written in Italian doesn’t carry the translation pitfalls (idioms, double meanings) that foreign writers have. Anyway, I also have more books by foreign authors than by Italians (except for non-fiction, but of course, I couldn’t care less about the intricacies of New Zealand unions; as for Italians, that’s another story).

At times you seem like Mariaelena MetalHead, Oscenamente Chimico is really something :) / I haven't listened to any hardcore EBM records in ages, maybe I’ll give it a listen.

<< Better than The Day of the Owl? >> It depends. Since both deal with the ghost cheese, it’s hard to say. The Day of the Owl is more “detective” (even though it’s not a detective story), while this one is a bit more “mystery” (even though it has an orange cover). It’s possible that Sciascia’s advanced age during this (almost 30 years after The Day of the Owl) has dulled his edge, or perhaps he gained even more experience. Maybe read “La Scomparsa di Majorana,” which has nothing to do with either of them, so you don’t have to rack your brain making comparisons.

Regarding the "greatest Italian writer," I specified "for many and for me." Literature is such a vast field that it's impossible to say with certainty who the best is; for some, it could just as well be a journalist who writes only essays. It's not that this is my favorite of his, if I really had to pick one, I would say Todo Modo. But perhaps I like it more because that book has a significant "real-world relevance." Maybe this is more brilliant in its maximum compression; there isn't even a comma too many. After a few readings (I've read it five times, it takes less than two hours), you can tell it has undergone various edits; at certain points, it seems as if it is about to start some slight description, but it abruptly cuts off. PS I know Primo Levi more as a producer of Vernici than as a writer, aside from what is studied in school. With the Vernici, he was very serious; even now, systems he invented from scratch are still in use, even though SIVA has been closed for a while, and I only knew it tangentially or by reputation.

Well, in all books everyone dies, except in Highlander, right? I said at the end, not "at the end of the book." Maybe this way curiosity is heightened, as you're led to wonder who all these people are, and if they really die, all of them. And especially, why? I would throw in the "mmmhh" thread, where you don’t trust what’s written.

I remember it being in the credits, Alexander. I might be mistaken and confusing it with the live performances, but I didn't buy the live ones. Who knows, I must be getting older. At least they were in the live shows, they must be somewhere :D

<< There are "Avant Minimalism Grindcore" >> I think we had quite a few laughs about this back in the day, as well as about some other mega subgenre sub sub brutal. Ask and you shall receive, right? Write with Confidence, don’t hold back.

We will have a bloodied metal heart, but it's still a heart. Whenever Burzy writes to me from prison, it's a push that energizes me to keep going until the fateful day of Ragnarok that we are all waiting for. Come Fernir, come bite us with your fangs, we are waiting for you with open arms! PS (I still keep the studded sandals from the oratory. Jealously.)

Yes, but your speech is delightful to listen to; I was only emphasizing the one thing I can discuss with you (the ISO) because I know about it. As for the rest that you mention, in my mind, there's an endless prairie rolling with tumbleweeds like in a Western movie. I will follow your advice on the channels to choose for gathering information. Regarding the 14000 issue, I can contradict your professors: every Italian production sector I know and follow (so obviously not all) has various trade journals where the certifying companies advertise the 14000. Every company that obtains the 14000 advertises the fact that they have achieved it quite a lot. Things like "bio" chrome, which no one cared about five years ago, are now essential; if you don't use ecological steel plating systems, you're considered a poor fool (as a reputation you carry around). Well, I speak easily because I work in a sector where in Italy we have always been, and for now it seems we will continue to be the leaders in the world for quite a while, so perhaps I see the situation in a more positive light than it is because money continues to flow in this field to carry these things forward.
