Di me non sai
Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel.
For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator.
"Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

Corridor (Peninsula)
‘Hij bracht zijn gezicht tot vlak bij het hare, sloot zijn ogen en voelde haar lippen meteen tegen de zijne duwen. Een oud lied weerklonk door de straten. Een tel lang hielden elektronen op met suizen, vergat het licht zijn schrikbarende snelheid. In een flits kan een wereld vernield worden. Misschien geldt het omgekeerde ook: een blik, enkele woorden kunnen jarenlang wachten, een lawine aan verdriet verzachten.’
Met elegantie en trefzekere taal schetst Lieven Stoefs in Peninsula een familieportret van vier generaties. Van een trillend been bij een allereerste ontmoeting op een autobus, naar een zoektocht die een halve eeuw later langs een Grieks schiereiland, voetbalvelden en fabrieken schuift. Op indrukwekkende wijze verschijnt een wereld waar liefde en wanhoop onafscheidelijk zijn.
‘Alleen de rimpelingen in het water zien we, nooit de inslag, de steen die het oppervlak raakt.’
Lieven Stoefs is ingenieur en schrijver. Hij groeide op in Griekenland. In zijn schrijven versmelt een wetenschappelijke blik met poëtische taal. Zijn kortverhalen verschenen onder meer in Kluger Hans en Op Ruwe Planken. Peninsula is zijn debuutroman.
