  1. The choice of nom de plum was a coincidence. I had known Lenny Bruce through Bob Fosse's film with Dustin Hoffman. Wanting a nickname that contained the word Lenny, for my own reasons, I chose Lenny Bruce. I didn't think at the time that it could be associated with a vulgar language that didn't belong to me at all. Meanwhile the nickname had stuck and I kept it. So the answer to your question is 'no' there will never be excessive blasphemy or gratuitous vulgar language in what I write. Ciao!
  2. Long before, before everything happened, Marco had been my Patrol Leader in the Scouts. And I was almost in love with him. He called me one lunchtime. That time during the day for the unhappy reunion of my family, or what was left of it. Three months had passed, only three months, and an eternity of silence. At that time of the day, my mother and I, punctual without any reason, spent a long moment together. The time necessary to swallow the food with acceptable calm. We simply acknowledg
  3. This story is one of a journey through life. A boy discovers his homosexuality. He condemns himself for an attempted seduction of a more youthful friend. He seriously risks dying when he decides to take drugs. The social environments described are those of Italy in the 70s. This boy’s life is pervaded with love, lessons, hardships, deaths, and special moments. The road is not pleasant. It is a perilous journey that deals with drug use, repentance, prostitution, pain, forgiveness, and hopefully redemption.
  4. Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant immediately fascinated me, yet this story is not about him, but about how he changed my life. When our philosophy teacher first told us about Immanuel Kant, it immediately seemed to me that his rational approach to the world, his definition and contraposition between science and metaphysics, were what it took to give a new order to my mind always ready to wander and digress. Our teacher was immediately clear by introducing the philoso
  5. Immanuel Kant immediately fascinated me, yet this story is not about him, but about how he changed my life. Actually, it wasn't exactly Kant who changed it, but it was my grandmother's grandmother, who had probably been a witch.

    Thank you for your kind comments. I'll take note of your observation. Please note that I'm Italian, trying very hard to manage another language... please be indulgent!!!

    The Partner

    The partner The first thing I look at when I enter is always the one, how he set it up. His cock, I mean. He always has it down to the left, at rest. But more and more often it is not where I expect it is and this means only one thing, that he has just masturbated. And then I despair, because for that day I cannot carry out my plan. It is a very simple plan, since this summer I discovered that I like boys, Matt, who is my best friend, classmate, from first grade, is the best ca

    Chapter 1

    Yes, guilty as charged! I'm Italian, trying to translate in English what I wrote in Italian and it's very much difficult for a non professional. I'll do better the next time. Anyway, I want to thank you all for your benevolent comments. I've just a question for you... what do you mean for 'dialect'? Do you refer to the bad language used by the guys? If it is the matter, note that when we, Italians, talk we use a lot of imprecations (remember we are all Catholics and have confession, so for us it's easy to repent). If it's not that... can you try to explain? Thanks again to you all!!!
  10. A matter of tact I’m writing this, because I am upset by what happened to me today. My hand is shaking, but I need to write. I'm still appalled, afraid. I decided to put on paper, write, describe my emotions, because that's what my teacher advised me to do after I almost confessed to her some of my problems in a subject. And she, who understood everything, suggested that I write and then reread it carefully. I will do so, because I didn't really understand a shit. It has al
  11. The Gulf of Stintino, in Sardinia (Italy), a shower after the sun and the sea water, the light goes out. And then it is a matter of tact, isn't it?
