Gianrico Carofiglio
Interview April 2020
How are these surreal days influencing your normal writing process?
My normal writing process has always been surreal and, somehow, psychiatric. I would say that nothing has changed.
What are the little things that are getting you through this extraordinary time?
Believe it or not, I am studying math.
If you had to isolate yourself with one other writer, who would it be and why?
Can I have a second option?
What are you currently reading for pleasure?
Right now I am re-reading Stevenson’s Treasure Island. I like it as I liked it as a kid.
Is there a local dish or comfort food that you are eating more regularly at the moment, to get you through these turbulent times?
It’s commonplace, sorry, but I really like spaghetti. I am learning new recipes and above all, I am creating new ones myself. Of course they are secret.
