For the Cure of Fits

The second issue of my art zine, DAS DING, is out. For the Cure of Fits is available from today. Words (a thing of lunar beauty) by Leni Zumas. Art by me.

It's only 6 dollars, shipping included, if you live in the USA (10 if you live elsewhere). You can look at a few pages (and support me by purchasing it) HERE.

"At the next nice restaurant you're in, at dinner, look around you and know that in a century everyone you see will be dead. Kindred inevitabilities are the fat truths studied in Luca Dipierro's DAS DING. Such pretty dark twists. Read them and weep."
Eugene Lim, author of Fog & Car

Cow, robotic arm

Wigleaf has named my story Inside a Cow It Must Be Dark one of the best 50 (very) short fictions of 2011. Thanks, Lily Hoang. And thanks to Eugene Lim for publishing the story in Harp & Altar.

Thanks to Claudio Morandini and to Minerva bookstore for setting up a skype presentation of my book Biscotti Neri, yesterday in Aosta. And thank to the people who came out to watch my face projected on a wall.
If I had the robotic arm invented by Margaret Atwood, I could have signed a few copies.

Biscotti Neri

On May 15, Madcap Collective has published my first book of short fictions, Biscotti Neri: 140 pages, 27 stories, and a great cover by artist Paolo Moretti.

Biscotti Neri is available on the Madcap website, HERE, where you can also download a free CD with readings from the book set to music by Amuleto, Boxeur The Coeur, Gomma Workshop, Freddy Murphy & Chiara Lee, Littlebrown, Giancarlo DiTrapano, Bemydelay, Amerigo Ormea, Wolther Goes Stranger.

Here is the booktrailer:

On Saturday, May 21, at 6.30pm (Italian time) I will read from Biscotti Neri at Minerva bookstore in Aosta, through skype. With me, Claudio Morandini. I never did a reading on skype before.
