Luca Palladino grew up in Quebec during the cultural war of the 1980s and 1990s between French and English, never quite finding his place there. Through literature, he discovered a way to express his multiple identities: Franco-Anglo-Italian, masculine-feminine, environmentalist, dancer, lover of politics and history, activist against inequality, and traveler through space and time. He is the founder of KATA éditeur and has been working in the literary field for over 20 years. My City Is an Orange Cone is his first novel.
