And it was in the evening, in fact, that I met the writers Michele Prisco and Mario Pomilio. It's a pity that in today's literary conferences they are almost never remembered. I really don't understand the criteria used to judge the works of fiction on these occasions. I think that both Prisco and Pomilio, in technique and content, are worth ten of those that in school anthologies go for the most.
Fortunately, in those days (it was 1979) they enjoyed a certain fame, at least in the Sorrento Coast. Both have won the Strega Award and some other important prizes and both were continuously involved in the countless artistic-literary meetings that punctuated the Sundays in Campania.
