Death in Sardinia
“I am constantly reminded that he has never read a word of mine. Not because I hadn’t started to write yet when he was still alive, but simply because his son never gave him anything to read. At first owing to a residual rancour from a confused and not yet revisited past, then out of excessive modesty.These memories are a little sad for me… but clearly it could have been worse. I could have not made peace with my father before he died. Luckily, however, I did, and was able to accompany him to hi...s burial place with a fondness not too darkened by shadows.
For the third time I thank Véronique Seguin for having come up with the name of Commissario Bordelli … who has become a sort of neighbour to me.
Thanks also to Franco Di Francescantonio, because Inspector Bordelli was born at his place, a pleasant flat he had kindly lent me use of for three months.
I also thank: My editor Daniela De Rosa, for her infinite patience; Adele Urtis, Delia Silvia Dessì, Diana Bettoni Dessì, Emanuela Minnai, Francu Pilloni, Leonardo Dessì, and Ruggero Sanna for their indispensable information on Sardinia, which, together with old personal memories, made it possible for me to stay at home; Adele Urtis, Francesco Asso, Leonardo Gori and Maurizio Matrone for having read this novel in its early stages and given me suggestions and opinions that helped to make it better; Francesca Vichi and Enzo Lucchetti for their expert medical advice, which protects me from blunders; Silvio Bozzi (police forensics) and Maurizio Matrone (writer and police officer) for having served me magnificently as ‘police informers’ in reverse; Francesco Badalamenti for having graciously ‘lent’ me his surname for a character like the loan shark.MoreLess
