"Don't hate the media, become the media" - Jello Biafra, Become the Media

 
Welcome! Welcome to the official webquarters for Brian Ranzoni and my art. I am an Irish-Italian ex-Catholic with ambition-- to build an engaging universe of moral and visceral challenges. Herein you'll find project pages on upcoming novels, screenplays, games, and short fiction; or proposals thereof. Read about my grand designs, grim results, questionable advice, and industry adventures.

 

Brian's Brass Tacks

 
I write cross-genre literature, tending towards parables and fables disquised as thrillers.  To that end, my fiction follows a baseline genre--such as military, period, or sci-fiction--and draws additional elements for effect. I prefer cultural and historic memes to traditional symbology, but I'm not above turning a fat cigar into suggestion (or to suggest meaning where none exists). All seen through the eyes of a Western male swept into the torrent of evolution (and extinction). I'm looking to tear down your world and unleash my own upon the unsuspecting public...
 
Ranzoni Werld
 
Most of my stories occur in the same universe. Far from constraining, each piece broadens or deepens the meaning of Ranzoni Werld. Altogether concerned with civilization and its fate, I draw from the Old English "Were-Eld" for "Man-Age". My cosmology thus turns on "semi-hard science".  I stick with mainstream physics right up to the point that it gets into decimal places, whereupon I gladly step back into liberal arts. Hence, Ranzoni Werld seldom traffics in ghosts or gods. But the fear of such things? Oh yes.

 
Bottom Line
 
My words work to enrich people with my truths and my fantasies. My art aims at mature audiences and hungry minds. And I want to create all this with like-minded artists, producers, and publishers. Because Vladamir Nabokov was wrong: there is far more taboo to write about than pedophiles or "an atheist who lives a long and prosperous life and then dies at a ripe old age peacefully in his sleep."
 
I hope to share some of my inciteful insights with you!
