belong to the lineage of Sanchez Drago It ensures controversy from the outset, a reflection of inertia and prejudices that are very much ours. But we can safely bet that what it also ensures is a base stripped of dogmas and its consequent doing things just because. And probably that ensures a bombproof personality and creativity.
To talk about Ayanta Barilli is to focus on that creative field that is taking her to literary spaces more and more frequently. Although of course, the support of being a finalist for the 2018 Planet Award will surely help her to continue exploring new scenarios.

Top 3 recommended novels by Ayanta Barilli
A dark violet sea
Alone, in the middle of the ocean. Waiting only for the shipwreck to be even more alone. Literature made committed feminism from the story of the abandonment of oneself. Assume and hide, expect the worst perhaps as the best last option. Having everything lost because you never knew or could win at least one opportunity.
Elvira married Evaristo, a demon who spread fear and madness. Her daughter, Angela, renounced herself for an absent husband, always in the arms of others, unable to take care of herself or her daughters. And the indomitable Caterina, third in the saga, ended up in love with another diabolic being, without being aware of the danger she was running. Only Ayanta, the last descendant, will face her inheritance by following the path of memories and truth.
A dark violet sea is the story of a rebellion against the threat of that fate that seems inescapable, that of many women subjected to the conditions of the time they had to live, that of so many anonymous protagonists who fought to be happy, to be free.
if it didn't dawn
If it didn't dawn it could be the perfect night in which your song doesn't stop playing. But it could also be the agony of someone dying waiting for the next lights as if they were never to come. In the middle of that night, fleeting at times, endless at times, our past takes shelter. To remember is to bring sunrises to the moments that were still too gloomy. From adult to adult, the parent-child relationship takes on another dimension. And if possible, they agree to illuminate those truths that never dawned.
A father. A daughter. Facing. They play to hold the gaze. They go through the glass of their pupils, they fall into the precipice of the past, they discover the flickering of the frames of a film. Yours.
One hundred years of history told in one day. A journey that begins, and ends, at dawn. When the first lights of dawn illuminate what they ignored. What they forgot What they hid And, dazzled by that discovery, they finally find the only thing that matters: love.
A woman and two cats
The empty nest is strangely filled with cats. Those beings who just look for a few moments of contact to immediately disappear without the slightest hint of emotion. Everything else is time to surrender to one or oneself. The author knew how to dedicate that phase of her life to a therapeutic narrative in which to write that book that every soul will stitch together at some point in its existence to attest to everything that has been done and what may be pending.
The protagonist, a transcript of the author herself, recounts and recounts a period of solitude, marked by a sentimental breakup and the departure of her children, each one to a destination they cannot visit.
During these months, accompanied only by her two cats, writing will become the only possible act of resistance in the face of adversity. It will review the key moments of her existence, seen from a different perspective, in which a woman -who is also a daughter, mother and lover- will become a liar. Disobedience will be the light that will illuminate her path.
