INCIPIT OF THE NOVEL:
INTERVIEW ON ' WRITER:
Hello Monica thank you so much for accepting my proposal.
Let's talk a little bit of your book MOONLIGHT RAINBOW why this title?
Nasce da un’esperienza fatta quando abitavo in pianura, in una sera di nebbia. In cortile, la luna sembrava a portata di mano. Era enorme e circondata da anelli colorati che sfumavano l’uno nell’altro. Dovevo essere ammattita, l’idea era più o meno quella. Poi la scoperta: l’arcobaleno di luna esisteva veramente! Così quando per Ethan e Liz tutto sta per cambiare, la luna li abbaglia con un segno davvero incredibile: Moonlight Rainbow, arcobaleno di luna.
E' il tuo primo romanzo oppure è già da tempo che coltivi questa passione?
La scrittura di narrativa nasce vent’anni fa esatti. E non bastano ancora; non tutto ciò che voleva esser scritto in Moonlight ha trovato la strada giusta per uscirmi dalle dita. Ma è come se la via sia stata aperta e le scene di In una gelida rosa, il seguito, stanno uscendo molto vivide, atterrano sulla pagina senza mediazione direttamente dal Maniero dei Rochester :-)
Hai in previsione un nuovo romanzo?
Più che in previsione è già in fase di stesura:-). È “In una gelida rosa” appunto. Sono trascorsi due anni dalla conclusione di Moonlight. Tutto comincia con il risuonare lugubre di una risata in una grotta, mentre a miglia e miglia di distanza Liz e Ethan aspettano con ansia l'arrivo di una misteriosa lettera... Uscirà il prossimo autunno.
Che good news! Your new novel would be the fourth? I am very happy ...
tell us a little bit how you got the idea to create a world populated by strange beings that is presented toward the end of your novel.
Yes the new novel saddle-Eyed Vampire Saga of Viola. Everything comes from the answer given by Meyer all'inconciliabilità worlds Edward and Bella. I said to myself "what is the lesson of this novel?". Mind the intent to address the problems of teenagers with food showing them to accept changes in the body of adulthood, is acceptable. But in the unfolding of real events, we have to be a deadly substance that plagiarizes Bella and she does not escape in short, eventually dying. I would have preferred an ending where he was to become human. Many stories are born this way: to give a different ending. Remember the true story of the German bank that illegally used the money to help the poor? Then he was put in jail. Here that is a story that I'd like to change the ending. I would start by saying that in prison, he meets the lady ....
So to create the transformation of humans into vampires I had to think of a supernatural reality complex greek mythology and Roman history of our central Italy. Here are appearing coal, quarry of marble nymphs. You know that these were great anarchists? Has emerged as our Apennines an army similar to that of the partisans who fought in the War against the fascists. No coincidence that the character was inspired Lenith a bit 'to the character of Leni Rifenstaal. The director who supervised the filming of the Berlin Olympics in the Third Reich and worked closely with Hitler.
As I also asked Margaret what is your creative process? while you write something in particular?
I drink coffee, roll up the legs on the seat of the chair across the table. But these details do not describe my external creative process. As I mentioned the idea of \u200b\u200ba story created to give final different stories we know. Now I wonder why I would like a different ending? Answering this question I have the lecture, the message of my new story. In the case of German bank would be: "the laws of the heart are more important than the laws of paper." Well after which I wonder who I want to tell my story. In fact, the reader enters the scene of the novel in its own right and accompanying me I always ask which scene would like to see such things and would like to know which annoyed him. You choose what is called a narrative genre. Here at this point I know that the strong scenes from the book in half then, must be growing, must entertain the reader ho scelto. È il mio lettore immaginario a ispirarmi a questo punto. Incrociando le scene forti inventate pensando al lettore con la morale della favola ottengo una trama sommaria... A questo punto subentra la tecnica progettuale e di scrittura e l’inventiva si concentra sulla messa a punto dei personaggi...
Sono molto curiosa devo dire di sapere come sei (siete) riuscita a pubblicare il tuo libro essendo io una aspirante scrittrice.... è stato difficile? come avete deciso la casa editrice adatta?
È stato semplicissimo, è bastato convincere me stessa che storie seguite da 50 mila visitatori avessero buone chances di interessare anche il pubblico della carta stampata. A quel punto mi sono chiesta se io I was the right publishing house and I said yes. :-) With other staff was a bit 'less simple. But the response of sales has put all silenced. Tat'è that will come out at least another four titles in the series.
And how did you decide to write a series of many hands?
I Gaiottina and we met on a site of Fan Fiction ... We used to write and share the same context. So even in our small we decided to paint a world of our own with characters that have told me a story and another Gaiottina. It is a fact books for four hands. There are two books in each hand!
What books do you like leggere, hai preferenze? Al momento quale libro stai leggendo?
Vado a periodi, come credo tutti. Circoscrivo la risposta alla narrativa. Ultimamente leggo thriller americani, Deaver , Connely, Gerritsen. In questo settore l’autore che più amo è Scerbanenco e Simenon che però americani non sono :-). Come mainstream uno dei libri migliori che ho letto ultimamente è Le imperfezioni di Valerio Varesi, ho amato molto L’antidoto alla malinconia di Meldini, mi è molto piaciuto e lo consiglio a tutte Uto di Andrea De Carlo, Utz di Chatwin, Il mago di Maugham. E ancora il Benni di Pieveloce Achille che però richiede un lettore non culturalmente suscettibile. E questo della suscettibilità è un topic that I'd like to talk if you like. But above all, and come to us, I went to the ball and sequels to Twilight, and Harry Potter sequels, The saga of Barthimeus, Georgette Hayer (but no one knows today that for the Honorary fellow of pure romance, I assure you an experience together with the vertices romance and style) ... In short, the Anglo-Saxon literary craft and I would say more, Britain is the top brand in my opinion. Let me give an example, did you ever read The Secret Garden of Burnet? If you have not ever run and procuratene a copy. Then there is the sector very attractive if done right, the spiritual fable. They range from Hesse to Coelho, in Marquez, in Buzzati, Borges., Saint-Exupery .. That's up to "God on a Harley," American and nice to "The Boy in the green thumbs" Druon of delicate, small, perfect.
What is the public face your book and what is the message that throws the reader?
I appeal to girls and women in general. If the Twilight series seems to encourage the girls to face the transition to adult life, accepting the changes of the body and overcoming the fear of the opposite sex. I say yes, at all of our wonderful heroes guys may seem unattainable to Ethan, and I say, accept that our femininity allows us to get to happiness, but in a second phase, we need to accept that the boy who loves us, stop being a vampire invincible, but for him who turns out to be: a guy with a thousand facets and the right to have their weaknesses.
short, I say that once you reach happiness, to keep it we must be able to accept that the boy who loves us back to being a normal "human" and that in fact we love him for that.
Well I have no further questions for you there's something you want to add before we say goodbye?
Yes exhortation, a call for all girls, when they read novels or essays and there is a word you do not understand, do not stop reading. To rely intuition, and move on. Find that doing so will read more and meet again the mysterious words in different contexts, they will reveal their meaning. Then the call not to create ghettos, between words, not to put in a basket of dirty words or do not use slang when writing for example. When you have to express, even in writing, the words may all be used. I remember that I and Gaiottina, author of The sixteenth night, because we made friends in the forum wrote, that bitch! He responded with a tirade, well rivendicai with you and with you now the good use of "bitch." Believe me it was an expression of true love :-). Just as there are difficult words, not vanno messe nel cestino delle parole “stronze” appunto, usate solo per mettere in imbarazzo chi legge. Sono parole magiche quelle perchè imparandole dànno potere a chi parla e chi scrive. Il potere di farsi rispettare, di farsi ascoltare. E questa è la lezione di Barbiana e di Don Milani.
L'intervista è conclusa. Ti ringrazio molto per la tua partecipazione e per la tua disponibilità... spero di poterti intervistare di nuovo se ce ne sarà occasione per il tuo prossimo romanzo.
Ti faccio anche i miei auguri per il tuo lavoro.
