Interview mit Maurizio Maggiani über Namen

Résumé

This is the second in a series of interviews with Italian writers on literary names. The purpose of this series is to complement the indirect approach of investigating strategies of literary naming in literary texts by directly questioning those who give names to literary characters or places. The interviews are to provide evidence of tendencies in literary naming in contemporary Italian writers. General conclusions will in due course be drawn from the material to be presented in the series. The present interview with Maurizio Maggiani was conducted in Hamburg on 26 April 2002.
