Il Fornaio

nubi che si addensano, nubi che si sciolgono

 I am not certain how you are defining “style”. I use and utilize various techniques to accomplish what I perceive as being needed in any particular piece of work. Basically, I want to put the reader through an emotional experience so I must endeavor to write from the inside out or I will not be able to accomplish my aim. I must be true to the people I create and allow them to live their own lives so the manner in which I tell their story must reflect their lives, their speech, the rhythm of their lives. I write musically so I had to develop a typography that is in effect, musical notations. I want to keep everything as simple and obvious as possible. In simplicity is profundity. These are some of the things I concern myself with, and together they help form my, “style”. Obviously there are many other elements involved, some of which I am not aware of. All of me, all of my being contributes to my “style”, just as it does for everyone. (Hubert Selby Jr.)
