i like writing organized crime. everything the chinese tongs to the 'ndrangheta and camorra to the irish mob, which is my favorite. i'm even planning organized crime from swedish immigrants in whatever city i end up using.
as for the situation down in Calabria, that I don't know, i've been there several times on holidays (you know the sea is great there) but you can't really see anything about 'ndrangheta... i guess it all just flows under the surface....
where are you from? why sometihng about 'ndrangheta? (it's been a long time since i stopped writing about organized crime... my short stories are all about robbers or immigrants, small thieves and the likes...)
here's another one for you. i'm writing a new novel that features the 'Ndrangheta in San Luca, Calabria. i hear they have some braches in Torino. is that true, and do you any light to shed about it?
well i guess you are right about the word "giallo" (the word comes from the color of the "giallo mondadori" series which where the italian alternative to pulp fiction and whose sleeve was yellow ). Anyway we now use it mostly for classic mistery novels such as agatha christie's while we say"noir" (and we miss-use the term) referring to hardboiled detective fiction (Chandler, Hammett, Latimer, Bloch) and tough crime fiction (let's say everything from Jim Thompson to Richard Stark)...
at least that's what people does. there are also many crime fiction readers who are starting to call the various branches of the genre with their right names....
