Donna Leon: Commissario Brunetti remains - an end is not in sight!

Venedig, Italien - The bestselling author Donna Leon Plans to keep her popular Commissioner Guido Brunetti alive. In an interview with Tamedia, the 82-year-old announced: "Brunetti won't die." Leon, who lives in Switzerland, has spent over three decades of intensive time with this figure, which is known for its cultivation and its value on the external appearance. "He is a changing example of Bella Figura," she describes her commissioner, whose stories are located in the fascinating backdrop of Venice.

writing and criticism

Leon does not make any institutions to move away from the crime scene and sees the writing of crime novels as easy. "There is a start, a crime and someone who has to solve it," explains the author. Her stories are not always well received in Italy, where she refuses to let her books translate into Italian. The topics of corruption and dishonesty often encounter resistance, since such reviews of foreign votes are not welcome.
