Guest of the ilb 2005
Marco Archetti was born in Brescia in 1976. His
first novel, »Lola Motel«, was published in 2004. As with the following
work, »Vent’anni che non dormo« (t: Twenty Years Since I’ve Slept), he
depicts with grotesque exaggeration and ironic mockery an aloof
romantic relationship. Archetti, who is influenced by Nabokov, Dickens
and Truffaut, has also written about two hundred songs and was selected
for, but did not perform at, the famous pop festival in Sanremo.
According to his own declaration, he lived in his Fiat Panda, in a
warehouse, and he spent several years in Havana, where he gave lessons
in Creative Writing. He has published in the newspaper »Nuovi
Argomenti«. In 2006, his novel »Maggio splendeva« was published.
