Looking for Authors to Interview
Hi, I don't know if you would at all be interested, but I'm a first time author of a novel called, "Love Before Covid." Given some of your other interview subjects and their work, I think you might find my novel interesting to have a chat about.
Love Before Covid is about a man who has been sexually abused by his mother and how that impacts his subsequent relationships and dreams as an adult. Initially, you read it thinking it's a collection of short stories, with Joe being just one of many characters. But as the book progresses, it becomes clear that all the stories are ways of exploring different facets of Joe's story.
Love Before Covid contains brutally honest women, men who can’t stand up for themselves, daring bohemians, vulnerable academics, insatiable sex workers, passionate feminists, violent alcoholics, Christian fundamentalists, sadistic parents, gregarious bartenders, shy art historians, misanthropes, lesbians, bisexuals, a trans woman, a conservative Mexican writer, not to mention a beautiful British dancer who hates fat people.
There are also culture war clashes, sensitive souls who fall in love in a place called Leicester, philosophical discussions over coffee in Pasadena, altruistic poets, female kick boxers, vegans who damage eye balls, parallel realities, dreams within dreams, a surprisingly kind psychopath, and a not so kind therapist.
And yes, before you ask, some of the characters in this book eventually catch Covid 19.
One review of the book stated:
"Love Before Covid' challenges readers, making them question their own perceptions and ideologies. It's an intense book, not one which relaxes but stimulates. Divided into five parts, and mainly consisting of dialogues between character pairs, the book is a hefty tome which reads surprisingly quickly. The dialogues, somewhat script-like, makes it completely accessible to anyone. It's a work of fiction but some aspects of the dialogues scream with bitter realism.
Scorzo doesn't shy away from the brutalities of living a flawed life together with flawed humans in flawed relationships. This is a book which intrigues, revolts, repulses, stimulates, in parts a stream of consciousness, in others, a metaphysical treatise on contemporary discourse in our media, universities and homes.
... This is a challenging book, one not easy to forget. Dazzling in its originality and depth, it's like nothing you have ever read before or will read again. Unless it is written by Greg Scorzo." – Karen Harradine, writer.
If you're at all interested, let me know and I will you a copy of Love Before Covid.
