Lorenzo Valerio's Debut Novel 'Lettere d'amore buttate via' Explores Youth, Love and Existential Crisis
Lorenzo Valerio's first novel, 'Lettere d'amore buttate via' (deComporre Edizioni, 2023), delves into the bond between Andrea, a scholar of art and cinema, and Giona, who aspires to be a writer. Their romantic journey is characterized by emotional peaks and valleys, imperfections, and profound monologues. While the narrative lacks unique elements, it addresses universal themes of existential struggle. The book reflects on the fragile emotions of youth feeling let down by 'destiny' and the rapid pace of society. Valerio suggests that love involves caring for oneself and embracing life, referring to words as 'medicine words.' Antonia De Francesco's review for MIfacciodiCultura concludes that, despite setbacks, a love for life and aspirations endures.
