Il più antico Sito Italiano tutto dedicato al giallo?
Sfogliando tra le pagine si apprende anche della "estinzione" del
mitico Club del Giallo di Beppe Isnardi, in data 31 dicembre 2002, dopo tredici anni di gloriosa attività. What a pity! Vincenzo de Falco continua comunque a fare un ottimo lavoro e, tra l'altro, cogliamo questa occasione anche per ringraziarlo dello spazio concesso al nostro Premio Letterario.

Come molti sanno l'AIEP é l'Asociacion Internacional de Escritores Policiacos (equivalente dell'anglossassone IACW - International Association of Crime Writers)... Sfortunatamente il loro sito non è adeguato al servizio che dovrebbe fornire.... ma, accontentandoci di ciò che passa il convento, ecco l'ultimo aggiornamento per l'Italia....
Italy
Since the first enormous Italian crime novel success, many people wished to write crime stories and publishers sought the same success by publishing a lot of crime novels. Hundreds are coming out, both translations and novels by Italian writers, but few of them are good, many are called mystery novels but only because they contain a dead body. In the Noir festival in the first week of September, 120 novels for the year were considered for the Hour and Carmen had the honour of being one of the short listed five nominees, though she didn’t win. The news as far as AIEP is concerned is both good and bad. Good because the President in charge since 2001, the publisher Gianfranco D’Orsi, is doing a good work collecting stories from AIEP members for anthologies. One had been published, and she was working on another that had been commissioned. On the other hand. Gianfranco has no interest in getting people together, since he was elected president, there had been no meetings and he didn’t write letters. However, he had done a very good job for AIEP by organising three anthologies. Maybe, Carmen said, he had the right idea because when she was president, she had to struggle to get people together and to explain what it was all about, Italian writers were possibly more selfish than other nationals; she never had a friendly hand from one of her colleagues, as she had had from most other members. In Italy there is lots of jealousy. She didn’t know if there would be a new President next year and feared for a future without meetings or the sharing of information, etc.

Segnalato da Peter di Detective Beyond Borders:
It's about one of my favorite American crime authors, Richard Stark, and his character Parker. Stark and Parker have some fans in Italy.
Arrivederci,
Peter
