Publish books bet Cyrus and Mark

Republic - May 9, 2008 page 22 section: NAPLES


"Serving God" (120 pages, € 8.90) and "Airbag" (136 pages, € 8.90) are the first titles of publisher "to the east of the 'Equator' or the 'exciting challenge of Cyrus and Mark Marino. 23 and 28 years, proudly by Ponticelli, the desire to publish books without asking for money, only the 'ideal signing a shared love of literature that addresses the reality with rigor and irony. The first volume collects stories of Richard Brun, Maurizio de Giovanni, Peppe Lanzetta, Luca Maiolino, Ciro Marino, Angelo and Andrew Santojanni joist with a preface by Max Smith, editor of "east of the 'equator'. The second is a novel by Gianni Solla, blogger Naples pretty well known and the author of a story that illustrates some theories of perception, from McLuhan to cyberpunk, with a protagonist disturbatissimo who happen to intercept, in 'TV audio, telephone conversations of other strange characters, beginning with an obese woman beaten by her husband, continuing lame, luxury ring, tango dancers and skinheads. The finish is a tribute to those emotional and cognitive maps provided by city and bust a cold place, devoid of authentic communication, now replaced by the impersonal imperatives of the virtual. In the seven pieces dedicated instead to as many deadly sins, the style is moved to the presence of absolute beginners (Maiolino, talent keep an 'eye), semiesordienti (Marino), young fairly well established (Brun, Petrella, Santojanni), and Senators like John and Lanzetta de,' s I think most of the putative father of our own writers between twenty and thirty years. It went from almost pedophile designed by Marino as a tribute to 'inevitability of how to live in such a way to sexuality' stingy dotted with classical composure de Giovanni; by 'angry of Brun Franz Lanzetta and signed to the superb' man - jealous - Train portrayed by Santojanni. I suggest a break from the more thoughtful parts of the greedy, the work of Maiolino in a sentimental vein, even compared to the wickedness of his colleagues, and of 'slothful, the type Petrella human to give a perfect comic at times, modeling it on himself, a writer struggling with other writers idle, rowdy, hungry, horny, on average. A human comedy bonsai that perhaps sums up the creativity of the publishing house and its current heroes. - MARCO LOMBARDI

Catchy Slogans For Smoothies




Unfortunately I have to stop doing the press office for a east of the equator, as I informed the editor a few days ago. The illumination came to me after a presentation of "organized" - to put it mildly - to Portsmouth and to which hardly anyone did not appear. At that point we all looked at him, as we stand in the typical situation, "I thought I did it!". Of course, no one had done anything. The fact is that it is a basic lack of internal communication, but above all I realized that, even having regard to the promotion of the work to be done for me. And here I would have imagined how the next months of work, with presentations by organizing, press releases, the people to talk to, and in the meantime I was forced to stay in another city to end six tests in two months, with the view to prepare and finish the book. In short, entered the game in my sense of responsibility I would never be able to properly take care of the press and I should have put the publisher in serious difficulties, which would have to call me back. So I prefer to get me out of a situation that could make tense internal relations, as well as giving me a bad professional image. If you accept a job, you might as well do it right, otherwise you should be able to give up. Better make room for someone else with more experience and free time.

Greetings and soon, w to the east of the equator!

Catchy Name For Consignment Store

An evening god


Saturday, March 29 has been my literary debut with the submission to the Gutenberg Galaxy anthology all the fault of god, which is a in my story. The evening went well beyond all expectations. First, the room was packed and not because of family and friends, who are almost all out rimastri (since space is not enough!). The books are sold out and the project has had fantastic success, especially among professionals. This what the publisher does not pay (in Naples!) Has left everyone with an inch of his nose. I know Diego de Silva and I shook hands with Wu ming3! We have done a thousand compliments. The actual presentation, then, was brilliant: the laughter and applause could be heard a lot of distance from the room (especially when reading the story of Angelo Petrella, fucking fantastic writer). Maurizio de Giovanni, writer and man infinite (I can not find a better adjective), has honored me by reading an excerpt from my story, and I nearly fainted. Then came my time to speak: I had prepared a beautiful speech and fully significant that, when put into operation the microphone is now migrated to a distant region of my mind, leaving me to shoot crap. I was so nervous that at some point, to make the kind loose, I made the gesture of pointing the elbow on the table, but I failed miserably! Figure assured of shit ... (I hope no one has noticed;))
