Leo is twenty-seven, with a face that works and a life that looks like a movie. Literally.
For six years, a director only he can see has been filming his every scene - the parties, the VIP rooms, the takes that erase all the wrong moments. Milan is locked in its coldest winter in thirty years, insects keep turning up where they shouldn't, and the confetti never quite comes off his coats. Then She comes back - a woman whose job is being someone else - along with the kind of work where all you have to do is stay in the picture while everything real happens at the edges.
For six years, a director only he can see has been filming his every scene - the parties, the VIP rooms, the takes that erase all the wrong moments. Milan is locked in its coldest winter in thirty years, insects keep turning up where they shouldn't, and the confetti never quite comes off his coats. Then She comes back - a woman whose job is being someone else - along with the kind of work where all you have to do is stay in the picture while everything real happens at the edges.
From Milan to Istanbul to an island that appears on no map, Take My Picture is the novel of a generation that watches itself live: the rebellion of a man who turns his life into a film set so he won't have to feel it - and the discovery that you only find yourself once you've lost everything.
Soundtrack included.
Every chapter has its track: Blondie, RosalÃa, Bowie, Fontaines D.C., The Cure, Sinéad O'Connor, Filter. A book to be read with headphones on. Written in one week in August 2003. Rewritten in 2026, because the new generations wouldn't understand it otherwise. The themes needed no retouching. Any reference to existing persons or to actual events is purely coincidental. Or not.
