The room is almost packed (and who would have thought). Arriva also the Councillor for Culture of Chioggia Dr. Sin, with its copy of the novel in hand. Approaches and shakes my hand, submitted by my editor who tells him: "Here the author!" and that would be me. The welcome and I welcome invite you to sit in the front row (do not do this?).
And so it begins, is expected
he just goes.
introduces two words Venerucci friend Andrea (whom I thank here, for the passion with which I helped to organize this event and for simple words to me when I read the proofs many years ago).
A must salute first councilor, who says that a society without deepening the ego, in spirit, is not based on solid foundations. Greets and thanks. But it remains to listen.
Andrea introduces the keynote speaker (
because I'm not that important here), Dr.. Piergiorgio Penzo Fondaco The Cultural Association of Chioggia.
Piergiorgio is not a friend in the truest sense of the word. That is not a person who normally attend. So much is already to have agreed to play the game compared to my novel and he did great.
The beginning is the most promising because comparing my debut novel, a novel minor (and God forbid ...) Bernanos: "Under the Sun of Satan." That alone makes you the
privide. Mauro Bighin compared to Bernanos. Even the sound of the name clash with my parting typically Venetian, which creates a sound unbearable. Instead, "Bernanos" is another story. However, Pierre has courage to sell and explain because this neighborhood.
Certainly the figure of the priest (almost trivial to think about it) that is present in both novels, but also and above all the figure of the devil. The speaker in the drawing of dr. Barbers in my novel with the figure of the devil. I jump off the chair and I'm curious to see where it ends, because c'avevo not even thought about writing such an eventuality.
mentions some episodes where it's clear this demonic aspect in particular strikes me when he says that it is clear that the demonic character of the doctor want to undo the wrong, does not tolerate evil, and prescribed doses of painkiller more than necessary to clear its patients. Interesting.
Then the speaker tells the other characters: Don Luigi and Elvira first, their relationship of mutual dedication event which is the real victory and true sense, according to him, the novel. Then Luke, the guy who recognizes the hope that the priest did not know anymore.
The rapporteur said details (and I tremble, because I do not want to reveal too much of the novel, not to lose the taste for reading to those who have not yet read and which is located in room), but does so with ease , almost as if it had to make.
strikes me as he always appoints the characters by name, contrary to what usually I do. For him the 'Don Luigi "," dr. Barbieri, "" Elvira, "" Luke, "while I am getting" the priest, "the Doctor," the boy "," perpetual. " And I realize that it is much better as he tells them. I almost afraid to call them by name, but obviously for him are more real and closer than they are to me.
Piergiorgio concludes talks about the victory of Christ in the deep relationship of Don Luigi and Elvira (here, now I call them by name ...), not so much sacrifice. And I realize that it's true. Greatest love of all love, which I'll then I in my speech, is the real victory that changes the fact, and draws to a well depth of evil told in the novel. But this comes with the next part.
