His noir novels illustrate the extraordinary worlds where the Mediterranean and Middle Europe meet and where the mental, political, historical, and geographic confines are the focal point both for Laurenti and the author. Vein Heinichen’s novels draw the map of a world that depicts Europe as a home both in the past and present. (Red)
