Interviews The creative writing of the twenty-first century will be remembered for having sanctioned the passage of text from paper to digital support. But is it really true that the author’s cards have disappeared? And how do contemporary authors write today? To answer these questions, together with the students of the Master’s Program in Publishing at the University of Bologna, directed by Anna Maria Lorusso, we have produced A carte scoperte (Cards on the table), a collection of interviews with twenty-two Italian writers who have opened the doors of their workshops and revealed the secrets of their writing, accompanying their answers with images of “scrapbooks” coming directly from their desks: an inspiring overview on the methods and time frame of their work, the spaces in which they write, the tools and objects on their desks, their relationship with the books in their libraries, but also the intense work of revising and editing their texts. A surprising panorama has emerged as a result: curious and unexpected facts, working methods and models, a small vade mecum of contemporary writing that represents a gift to scholars, readers, and all those who are fascinated by writing workshops. This wide-ranging investigation into contemporary writing in Italy is presented here through the answers of three of Italy’s best-loved and most successful writers: Helena Janeczek, Dacia Maraini, and Valeria Parrella. In this adventurous... Continue reading at 'World Literature Today'
