Simone Vinciguerra, a young writer from Catania
Simone Vinciguerra, in 2012 decides to transcribe everything on paper and make it a novel of 51 chapters. It all starts from a dream of our young author, born in 1992, a youtuber and writer from Catania who gives us an intriguing and engaging story right from the first paragraph. Blackout, the title of the book that describes "a very crude and truthful reality" as he himself defines it. Imagine if suddenly everything stops. Stop. Your daily life, your habits, your time upset by a war. And from a total blackout that prevents telecommunications and travel.
“I confuse dreams with memories and memories with dreams. Even now. Is this reality or just a dream? "
This is the position in which Niat, the protagonist of this novel, finds himself, who awakening in an enemy land, overcomes various difficulties, obstacles, fears and anxieties in order to try to return to Nashè his native land. Full of memories, flash-backs, dreams and twists, with a fresh and fluent language our young Sicilian author with blue eyes and an innocent smile demonstrates, despite his age, that he is up to arousing curiosity in us and the desire to continue reading the novel, keeping our attention high with simple but accurate descriptions, making references to landscapes and places of his native land, Catania.
"We are on a small mountain of rocks on the city's waterfront, below us the waves are breaking, the sun is setting and the red-tinted sky is reflected on the sea as flat as a table"
Passionate about writing since childhood, he devotes body and soul and 4 years of hard work to the drafting and publication of his book. Without neglecting his private life, his hobbies and his school career. In fact, despite the ambition to be a full-time writer, Simone holds a degree in Economics in Catania. Continuing with a specialist in management and governance in Siena. By keeping active his youtube channel “Mr Simonoh”, his facebook page and his blog.
Simone had problems publishing his book. The big publishing houses are a little hostile when it comes to emerging writers. For this reason Simone took the initiative to self-publish his book and the results did not disappoint. Thanks also to the help of his youtube audience, Simone managed for more than a month to be the second in the ranking of best-selling books on the amazon.it site with a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5.
His literary adventure continues
Ambitious, determined and with a great desire to do. The young author has very clear ideas for his second book, who knows if it will be a sequel to the previous one or a whole new story. We cannot reveal this yet, for the moment we limit ourselves to encouraging dear Simone by wishing him much success for this first work of his. We at italiani.it believe in him and in all the young emerging writers. We must not give up, we must not give up at the first NO, we must continue and hope. Good luck!
