The author reflects on their struggles with self-deception and acceptance of inner truths, using Giuseppe Trevisani as an imaginative figure. Trevisani, a fictional image created by the author, symbolizes the comfort found in narrative and identity. Through the years, the author has come to rely on details and personal myths to establish a sense of trust in their reality, signifying the power of storytelling in personal understanding and acceptance.
Many years ago, Trevisani, a translator, wrote an ending to a short story that led me to believe that the evil I felt inside me might actually be the mark of an exceptional character.
The Trevisani in question here is a figure I invent each time I mention his name: a young man from Lecce, who worked...in Turin.
It's the details that count; it doesn't matter if they're banal - they lead to a sense of trust. Everything has to be real, first and foremost, for me.
I can't accept even the most basic truths. What I am good at is coming up with excuses; it's easy for me to invent excuses.
