How Much Does Plan B Cost In Louisiana

Intervista Valeria Lie

by Carlotta Susca

Valeria Lie , author of the thriller The perversity of evil (on facebook here ) guest today is temperamental, in response to some question about his novel.

Welcome. You have your thriller set in New York: you know the "Big Apple"?

No, unfortunately I've never been to America, although I would visit it a lot. I have a passion for the U.S. and all things American.

Why did you decide to transgress la regola che prescrive di trattare solo di luoghi che si conoscono?

Sì è vero in genere si scrive di posti conosciuti, ed io sarei stata certamente più facilitata ad ambientare il libro a Napoli per esempio, ma non riuscivo ad immaginare i miei personaggi in Italia, soprattutto per le modalità del serial killer .
Tuttavia, proprio perché dovevo scrivere di un luogo mai visto e non volevo commettere errori mi sono informata su tutto. Volevo essere concreta e non basare la mia storia sulla finzione.
Così ho fatto sei mesi intensi di ricerche prima di scrivere . Insomma, è stata una bella faticata, ma lo rifarei nuovamente.

You have also taken cues from American movies and TV series? From novels? What?

My favorite author is Patricia Cornwell, so my writing is very much influenced by her inevitably.

Why did you decide to insist on the descriptions of the bodies of victims? The procedures are repeated Assassin's always the same, is a clear choice to repeat for each crime description of the crime scene?

While writing and imagined the victims appeared to me as I have described. It was as if I could live the crime scene and I wanted to put this perception to those who read, give him the feeling of being there in front of the victims.
Yes, how Assassin are repeated, it was a very clear choice. The modus operandi of a serial killer is usually always the same, and this is what characterizes him, and in particular my always kill the same type of woman that fragile. He wants to be a nightmare for these women, wants to punish them, and this tends to represent the image of his murders in a painting, trying to remain as faithful as possible. Then someone rages on even more, adding something to the crime.

Women of the text are all exceptional people poor, cowardly or brutal: why a bias so strong?

Our society is very sexist, the presence of man excels in almost all fields . You always see male figures where very strong woman to be more fragile. You put a little more into the background, despite today than before the woman is more liberated almost coming to an equal relationship, but there is still a long way to go. For most of man is the protagonist and I must admit that I had written a lot of detective men. Then I thought about it, and I felt the need to shy away from certain cultural patterns, deciding to tell women, prove that the woman is not "fragile" but is strong, resolute, that knows itself very well to salvage . I believe that women have a higher gear and this is demonstrated in everyday life: working, caring for children, combining thousands of commitments without discouragement. The women make their mistakes in the book, have their own problems and weaknesses. They are normal women, and this is their normality to be extraordinary.

Are you writing another book?

I started to write something, but then I do not write self-imposed at the time to dedicate myself fully University.

At the end of book stresses how important it was for you realizzareil dream of publishing a book, can you tell us how it went?

I've always written for myself and my novels I read only a few close friends. However, I dreamed of seeing my work published. I was dreaming, but then never send to any publishing house in my writings because I was embarrassed because I believed then and a very intimate thing. In short, it was a bit of a contradiction. Then one day I participated in a competition organized by a publishing house, wanted to give me a contract but I did not accept . Then a dear friend took me to Graus for merely an opinion, from there I have contacted, and then ho pubblicato con loro.

Augurandole di viaggiare presto negli U.S.A. salutiamo la scrittrice, alla prossima!
