Una specie di giallo is the ironic sub-title given to Björn Larsson’s I poeti morti non scrivono gialli, which describes many different worlds and many different views, reflecting with refinement and depth on the art of writing, on truth and fiction, and on the artifice and necessities of the craft. The world of publishing, true poetry, the rigorous nature of the art, and a little truth mixed with a touch of creative invention are the main ingredients of this absorbing work which with a deft touch helps the reader to discover the hidden associations and truths which lie behind the façade.

Giuliana Musso
actress, researcher and author, winner of the Critics’ Prize in 2005, is one of Italy’s leading figures in the area of narrative/investigative theatre – a form of theatrical art laying to the border with investigative journalism, between the investigation and the poetry, the report and the humor. A poetic vein runs through all Musso’s works: Nati in casa, Sexmachine e Tanti saluti (a trilogy describing the ‘fundamentals’ of life), Indemoniate (based on a real-life case of mass hysteria which took place towards the end of the 19th century), Dreams (on the problems of indebtedness), La Base (describing the construction of the U.S. military base in Vicenza). La fabbrica dei preti, her latest and perhaps most intense effort, which serves as a mouthpiece for those who lived in Italian seminaries before the Second Vatican Council. She is currently appearing in Wonder Women, a reading which portrays women, money and superpowers, written by and featuring Antonella Questa, Giuliana Musso and Marta Cuscunà.
