"Penning ideas on the mountain peaks, refining work at the seaside!"
Luca Brunoni, a renowned novelist and screenwriter born in Lugano, Switzerland, has recently published his latest book, "On the Surface." The adult novel, published by editions Finitude, is set to captivate readers with its unique narrative.
Growing up in the picturesque city of Lugano, nestled in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, Brunoni's life and imagination have been deeply influenced by lakes. This connection to water is evident in his latest work, where the lake is considered a character in its own right.
Brunoni's writing process is as intriguing as his stories. He prefers to work in the morning during the writing phase and finds solutions to his writing problems while engaging in activities other than writing, such as running. His preferred tool for crafting his stories is a keyboard.
The canton of Ticino, where Lugano is located, holds a special place in Brunoni's heart. Its beauty is a source of inspiration for him.
Brunoni's work has gained international recognition, particularly in France, after the translation of his novel "The Silences." His latest book, "On the Surface," is set to follow in its footsteps.
A reader's comment about Brunoni's work suggests that he has a sense of humor, adding an enjoyable layer to his thought-provoking narratives. However, if Brunoni were a book, he would see himself as "The Lincoln Lawyer," indicating a strong affinity for compelling, character-driven stories.
Despite his success, Brunoni finds it annoying when people question his fluency in Italian, given his Swiss nationality. He has not yet read "Ulysses" by Joyce, a notable gap in his literary repertoire.
Proofreading the final draft is a daunting task for Brunoni, as he knows he won't be able to make any changes once it's published. He divides his time between writing and teaching, ensuring his passion for storytelling continues to inspire future generations.
In "On the Surface," Brunoni invites readers to immerse themselves in his world, where the lake is more than just a backdrop. With its intriguing plot and Brunoni's distinctive storytelling, it promises to be an engaging read.
When asked, Brunoni compared himself to "The Lincoln Lawyer," suggesting a shared emphasis on compelling, character-driven narratives in both his work and the book. Moreover, in an interview, he discussed how his upbringing in Ticino, with its rich culture and picturesque home-and-garden landscapes, had influenced his travel experiences, significantly informing the lifestyle portrayed in his latest book, "On the Surface."
