Where are you from? I would guess Milan, but I could be wrong. How do you think your origins influenced your writing of the book?
I was fascinated by the intense feelings of superiority towards the southerners. It seemed that they were seen as just as much of immigrants as people who migrated from outside of Italy. I know that there are divisions due to the mafia, but what other reasons are there for these intense feelings of resentment towards fellow Italians?
Are any of the characters modeled after specific people? Where did you get your ideas for these characters and their personalities?
