Professional activity
The attraction to literary creativity arises in people of various professions. The tipping point can come at any age. The now famous author of detective novels Donato Corrisi was born on March 25, 1973 in an ordinary Italian family. Parents lived in the old town of Martina Franca in the province of Apulia. They say that Julius Caesar himself once spent the night in this village. My father worked in a legal consultation. Mother taught literature at a local college.
At an early age, the child was no different from his peers. I studied well at school. There were not enough stars from the sky. I went in for sports and read a lot. When there were no unread books in the school library, he began to visit the city book depository. After school, with his father's parting words, he entered the department of jurisprudence at the University of Rome. Having received a specialized education as a lawyer-criminologist, he began to work in a law office. Interest in the motives of the behavior of criminals and psychological deviation prompted him to write articles that Corrisi published in specialized newspapers and magazines.
On the writer's path
As part of his professional interests, Corrisi conducted a comprehensive study of the motives behind the behavior of one of the serial killers. And he even defended his thesis on this topic. After some time, Donato summarized his experience and wrote his first detective novel "The Prompter". Unlike other authors who work in the detective genre, the aspiring writer knew a lot about the methods of detective work and about the behavior of criminals. The readers accepted the book with enthusiasm. Critics and the idle audience froze in anticipation of the next piece.
It should be noted that Corrisi not only masterfully builds intrigue in his novels. In the context of the events and actions taking place, he unobtrusively pushes the reader to assess the current laws, rules and traditions. The reader, willy-nilly, has to think about the issues of good and evil. The author met the expectations of stakeholders. The crime novel "Girl in the Fog" was a resounding success. The writer's work was appreciated adequately, he received several prestigious awards for this book.
