Mario Giordano

Mario Giordano fascinates me because of his range. Here is a Munich-born writer who pens children's books and young adult fiction, yet also wrote Black Box, the novel rooted in the Stanford prison experiment that became the searing film Das Experiment and earned him a Bavarian Film Award for screenplay. That ability to swing between tenderness for young readers and an unflinching probe into human cruelty signals a genuinely versatile imagination. I tend to admire authors who refuse to be boxed into one register, and Giordano clearly belongs in that company. He is a writer I would happily explore further.
