A man writes. He bears the name of a blind and ancient poet, yet he lives in our time. He is searching for something he has lost—perhaps a woman, perhaps a Muse, perhaps only himself. Around him: the islands of the Mediterranean, the theaters of myth, the cities suspended in longing. L’Orcapardo, published by The Eolian Reader (Biblioter), is a novel-poem blending epic narrative, lyrical tension, and meta-narrative reflection. Through the figure of a contemporary narrator named evocatively Homer, the book journeys through both real and symbolic locations—from Taormina to Ortigia to Leucosia—meditating on the meaning of storytelling, on love, and on loss. Echoing the voices of authors like D’Arrigo, Lucio Piccolo, and Tomasi di Lampedusa, it’s a novel where myth and present converse, and the boundary between reality and invention dissolves among songs and sirens, horizons and tides.
