Se trovo il coraggio [Fandango libri]
Se trovo il coraggio begins in the past. At a swanky party in Turin in the early 1980s, which appears in the present in a newspaper article. Matteo, who is 46 with an ex-wife and two children, was not at that party. But he must travel back in his memories to the night that changed his life. The night when a young woman and a young man, Elen and Luca, disappeared. Elen’s body was found the following day, with a bullet to the head, but there was never any trace of Luca. The year was 1980 and the party preceded, both metaphorically and not, of the picket breaking "march of 40,000" at the Fiat factory, in what became the symbol of the end of the 1970s.

Dario Buzzolan (Turin, 1966) graduated in Theoretical Philosophy with Gianni Vattimo. He often changes registers in his novels and experiments with diverse genres. His published works include Per non dimenticare (Calvino Prize) and I nostri occhi sporchi di terra (Strega Prize finalist). He has edited the Italian editions of the writings of, among others, Aumont, Chion, Jousse, Gaudreault, Vanoye and Mark Twain, whose Following the Equator he translated (as Seguendo l'equatore). A playwright and author of numerous essays of film criticism, he is a consultant for the Rome International Film Festival and writes for La Repubblica and Linus. For television, he has hosted the program Anni Luce (La7) and is a writer for Agorà (RAI 3).
