"Eżistenzjaliżmu Mediterranju taħt xemx tikwi," huwa kif Ryan Falzon jiddeskrivi r-rumanz debuttanti tiegħu, Sajf, f'dan it-tieni episodju ta' Antenni Suspettużi. Ippubblikat inqas minn sena ilu ma' Kotba Calleja, Sajf diġà jinsab mal-finalisti tal-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb għal din is-sena. F'din l-intervista ma' Karl Schembri, Ryan jitkellem dwar ir-realtajiet tal-Ġenerazzjoni Ż u l-Millennjali f'Malta tal-kontradizzjonijiet u realtajiet paralleli. Jgħidilna wkoll xi jdejqu f'ħafna mill-awturi Maltin, xi jħobb f'Irvine Welsh u J.G. Ballard, Immanuel Mifsud u Ġużè Stagno.
Antenni Suspettużi huwa l-podcast ta' PEN Malta mal-awturi ta' żmiennai. Joħroġ nhar ta' Tlieta.

"Mediterranean existentialism under a scorching sun," is how Ryan Falzon describes his debut novel, Summer, in this second episode of Antenni Suspettużi. Published less than a year ago by Kotba Calleja, Summer is already among the finalists for this year's National Book Prize. In this interview with Karl Schembri, Ryan talks about the realities of Generation Z and the Millennials in a Malta of contradictions and parallel realities. He also tells us what annoys him about many Maltese authors, what he likes about Irvine Welsh and J.G. Ballard, Immanuel Mifsude and Ġużè Stagno.
Antenni Suspettużi is PEN Malta's podcast with contemporary authors. Out every Tuesday.
