by Gabriel Sachicchi
In 2011, Gabriel debuted his collection of short stories and he continues to write. Unremembered Thoughts is described as a sleepwalk through Italy and Spain, through Boston's North End and small-town New England, from failed romance in a hotel bathroom to redemptive affection on a downtown balcony. A soldier wakes from dreams of his violent past to find he cannot rise. A boy and a man meld together in circuitous time, all as the life of a young girl ends. Schicchi weaves together the imagery of memory and desire with an emotional sensitivity that will inspire you, and the aesthetic prowess of the masters. The first of many modern classics to come from an original young writer approaching his prime.
