How to Write a Love Novel

This book, structured as a collage of situations and ideas that seek to connect around the central theme of love and happiness, is developed as a diptych and explores themes of paranoia, identity, isolation, love and happiness — touching on both “fundamental” and “random” human experiences in a fragmented world with an exhausted voice. This thematic background is matched by a narrative discourse with a philosophical tone, which has further densified the complex narrative structure tied in a knot of themes and existential pains.

Krasniqi has long been calling with competence through his texts, as the most outstanding I know in the art of metafiction in Albania, offering us a different literature. Therefore I invite as many readers and experts as possible to answer his “phone calls” in time. But what does it mean to read Gazmend Krasniqi? To become ready to understand his texts more through their effects than through their essence, to know them more for what they do than for what they are. His art as a writer pushes fiction toward a dimension of thought; his narrative techniques depend more on the art of (missing) reading than on the words of the text.
