Can you be an extraordinary copyist without knowing how to read or write? Are there successful musicians who only play a single note in their life? Book after book, Fabio Morábito's stories have become increasingly radical in their way of showing us that imagination is not a curious feature of the mind, but perhaps the only way to not feel excluded from the real world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith prose free of unnecessary explanation and descriptive embellishments, \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow of the Mammoth\u003c\/i\u003e insists once again on the guiding principle of Morábito's work: playing fair with the reader, who advances in reading these stories as he did when writing them, open to any direction they could take. For this reason, these stories are as unexpected as they are different from each other, all united by that pleasure of storytelling that has always been Morábito's unmistakable hallmark.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFabio Morábito\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Egypt to an Italian family.
