These are the kinds of recognitions that reinforce the many doubts capable of cracking the wall of one’s certainties.
Am I actually “good” at writing?
Have all the hours spent crafting sentences, stories and narrative scenes been worth it, or is it all wasted time?
Then a prestigious acknowledgment like this arrives, and you tell yourself that perhaps you’re not writing so badly after all.
To put it briefly: Le Ombre di Nahr, my first book, was read, selected and chosen as a finalist for the prestigious Argentario Literary Prize 2024.
It is an international competition sponsored by the Municipality of Monte Argentario, which “is positioned among the most recognized literary awards at national level.”
Moreover, “the confirmation of this further recognition at the 2024 National Argentario Literary Prize and Caravaggio Prize can also be attributed to the success of the 2023 edition, which saw the participation of many established and emerging writers from across the country as well as from the USA, France, Germany and Poland, who with their works created an extraordinary panorama of contemporary literary excellence in the various sections of the competition.”
In short, I think I can allow myself a pat on the back :)
