Chris Pinturicchio: Always Drawn to Stories That Don't Easily Fit an Explanation

Chris Pinturicchio, author of "A Map of New Journeys", describes his book as a collection of stories inspired by real, strange events. It's not a historical book, but a narrative that attempts to examine these incidents with calmness and humanity, focusing on ordinary people who found themselves in extraordinary situations. The impetus for writing the book was the author's constant attraction to stories that lack easy explanation and people considered "different". The title, "A Map of New Journeys", suggests the ironic coexistence of the strange and the normal, emphasizing that the unusual is not so far from everyday life. The biggest challenge in writing was maintaining the truth in the stories without making them cold, and highlighting their human side. The author notes that history often proves that the strange is not something foreign, but simply something we don't pay attention to. The writing of the book took years, with many revisions, until each story found its correct form.
