BOOKS - Ezio Granese explores the forms of love: a new novel written in Sesto Calende - - Varese News

Stable as a square, fluid as a circle, ever-changing like a triangle. Ezio Granese, an engineer and pianist of Neapolitan origins who has lived in Sesto Calende for years, chooses geometry to describe love: the most difficult feeling to define.

Her novel The Forms of Love. Infinite Like the Sea , published in the Gli Emersi della Narrativa series by Aletti Editore , explores passions and fragility through the story of Marzio and Marilena , two people who meet when their lives seem already written and who discover, in each other, a refuge but also a challenge.

In his novel, Granese alternates the internal diary with the stream of consciousness through the use of "an intimate and reflective register and lively dialogue, with forays into dialect and everyday language that make the characters authentic and close to the reader."

"I was inspired by internal conflicts," the writer explains, "by unconventional relationships and the need to rediscover oneself . Stylistically, narrative devices such as the "diary" or the "stream of consciousness" of the two characters give an intimate and realistic touch to the story ."

The stylistic approach chosen by Granese aims to authenticate the protagonists, their emotions, and their hesitations. What emerges is an all-encompassing love , made of courage and fear, introspection and passion.

“LOVING WITHOUT POSSESSING”

"The highest form of love is the one that sets us free," the author explains. " To love without possessing , without asking the other to fill our emptiness. A love that welcomes, that understands, that accompanies... even if it cannot stay." And in these words lies the heart of the book, which intertwines reality and fantasy, personal experience, observation and narrative invention, to give the reader a sincere, intense, and profoundly human novel.

"I had a clear idea of the two characters and their meeting ," the author explains, "but the story developed by following their steps, their dialogues, their hesitations. It was a very instinctive and authentic piece of writing."

“I WOULD LIKE THE READER TO FEEL LESS ALONE”

An intense, sincere novel that tells the story of a beautiful and impossible love. The journey of two souls who meet by chance and are changed forever. " I wish every reader would feel less alone in their doubts ," concludes Ezio Granese, "and in their contradictions. I wish they would feel understood, listened to, recognized. I wish they would understand that love, even when it isn't perfect, is still precious if it teaches us something about ourselves ."
