(... Continued from this post ...) But let's
tell the adventure of "I want pink world shokking" directly by the authors, reviewing our chat with Ross River and Virginia Canevari ...
The PROJECT
The book "I want a pink world shokking" really hinges on a larger project, "shares rose shokking. This project includes the book with a note on the book trailer, a video, a blog that continues the adventures of the two protagonists of the book and especially in a community that talented women show their expertise in various fields (politics, economy, jobs ...)
All this can be found on the site www.quoterosashokking.com .
How did the idea for a project so ambitious and original?
E 'Scarlett the first to respond. Tells of a day in Paris where he had the idea of \u200b\u200ba thousand phone calls to empty the phone silent storm in Virginia, to find, propose an idea, write incessantly together at the home of Ross, for one month whole.
The two writers worked for the same newspaper. Ross, enlightened by the idea of \u200b\u200bthis project, thought to share it with a younger girl. Young people - in reality - they are both very 24 years Virginia, 35 Ross. The fact is that in his twenties and early thirties began the collaboration that brings the novel to see the light. Scarlett's friend (they are all women in this team!) Built the site on which the book was published. That in three months, was downloaded over 3000 times. And so they did the editors ... live
The BOOK
We talk about the book: How did you start? It was not difficult to write a book "Four Hands," and attempt to frame the stories of the two protagonists through various digressions time?
How much of you, your personality and your life is lived in a thousand and Sofia?
It was not difficult to write for four hands, no. Have fun. Of course, care must be taken of the idea, the temporal unfolding of history. It should especially write: one month in the evenings and on.
Ross Virginia and there is much in the history of Sofia and Camilla. Ross as a freelance television Sofia is an author, trying to insinuate intelligent content in rubbish around, with great difficulty. Virginia as Camilla is a college student to graduate degree in modern literature. As Camilla wants to "turn the world and write and put in the drawer is the dream of journalism (not so put Saturday will address the examination for entry to journalism school ... good luck!).
SHARES ROSE (preferably shokking!)
The original title of the book, then rejected by your editor, should have been "Women with Tit (let's leave the balls to men)." "It 's interesting that this expression irony emerges from the desire to emphasize the diversity, not to deny, and claim a policy of exploitation of that diversity. What do you think of the debate on "quote rosa" in politics? Necessary to achieve substantive equality in an environment, that of politics, unfortunately quite difficult for women? Favoritism or demeaning to women's abilities? What innovations do you think can bring more women into politics?
different views: for Ross (as well as the two interviewers!) Units are needed. Virginia, optimistic, idealistic, confident in the maturity of the Italian company that should not need to share a duty to enhance the talent and skill of its women. Replica Ross that a victory for "spontaneous" of equal opportunities is estimated that there would have to wait another 150 years or so ... ", but I would like to be there." Virginia: "You're very convincing but I'm a hard head ...:)".
WOMEN IN THE WORLD OF WORK
In the book, Sophie becomes pregnant. Do not want to give up the child, but is aware that a different choice inevitably undermine his career as a writer on television. Sofia is also a free-lance: that nothing and no compensation for maternity protection. In short, one of many modern women who are facing a world of work done "to measure male" and who struggle to reconcile career / motherhood / family without sacrificing their personal ambitions. What do you think reconciliation policies in the urgent our country? More
parental leave, most nurseries. Flexibility is now a feature of the new jobs. And it's a feature not only endured, but try and sought after by the boys and girls of our generation. Nobody wants to do the same job for life. Then policies are needed that pick up the deep meaning of this change and to develop solutions, especially for women, who are the most affected by the degeneration of flexible working, from job insecurity.
MILAN (Virginia River) The book is set in Milan, which, as you say it, love and hate. What do you like Milan and what you hate? That do you think of how this city is managed? In what areas do you think the policy of the municipal administration is weak and distracted?
Milan is his city, how could he not love her. For Virginia Milan is a bit 'a hidden city, to be discovered. Will win little by little and this is one of his charming side. But can a city that aspires to be European not exploit herself? Milan offers a lot, if you go to look for, but not enough. It 's a bright little town, from all points of view: it's dark on the proposal for cultural and artistic, it's dark in the streets unsafe when it is evening. At night, missing all those services (starting transport) that make a city alive and viable, as is the case in Rome.
The TV
(A Rossella Canevari) Sofia is an author on TV. It 's interesting that the digression in the book does give an opinion on the quality of the programs broadcast on Italian television. Sofia focuses particularly on programs of sheer entertainment, according to her mundane, stereotypical, vulgar. In your opinion, even the mere entertainment programs can not be an instrument to convey content more substantial? Do you think that TV should / could have an educational role? Tell us some interesting Italian training in your opinion, brilliant.
Italian television offers - that RAI and Mediaset - it is pretty depressing, yes. Ross also works in the satellite TV, which is what makes minor constraints, more freedom and more room for creative and innovative proposals. Rai of the schedule and save much praised "Report" ("The Gabanelli is a myth!").
Lla proposal is deficient Italian television, flat and banal for the provision of information and deepening political and cultural, of course. But let's entertainment: it must necessarily be stupid, run, vulgar? Cites a number of telefilms foreigners - Americans, especially ("Sex and the City at all) - that free rag playing our "Doctor Who" and "Carabinieri". The entertainment can be smart, sharp bright. It does not need to resort to trash. Ross finally makes reference to
impudence of commodification of the female body on television in our country in Europe we own this embarrassing record unchallenged.
NETWORK
The Internet is a powerful and fascinating. Your book was first published on-line, where copies have been downloaded more than 4000: there was discovered by an agent and soon became "a real book pages and paper." What do you think of the blogosphere as a medium of communication and disclosure culture? The thesis of Camilla / Virginia has precisely this argument: it analyzes the phenomenon of "Indian Country", a literary blog-collective and independent journalism (which is also part of Roberto Saviano, author of "Gomorrah"). Do not think that the blogosphere is the most suitable instrument to overcome any type of barrier (cultural, physical, geographical) the dissemination of knowledge?
Yes, I think. Rosashokking The project, moreover, could not regardless of the network.
The downside of the Internet, Virginia emphasizes, is in the abuse that is easy to make. The chat, messenger, blogs are extraordinary means of communication, cultural opportunities and contact with people all over the globe, but removed embodiment in human relations. We must find a fair compromise. Reserving certain words, certain confidences, certain intimacy to the direct contact between people.
"Since he learned to read I have not stopped"
So the cover of the book between the lines of the presentation of Virginia River. What are the favorite reading of these two "women with their boobs?
Scarlett everything. "International", I love it. Books .. phew, there are an awful lot. It cites, including "The Catcher in the Rye." The blog, which are a new type of literature ...
Virginia Law so compulsive and disordered. If a novel in the author cites four other books you think you are not going to read at least one? Since a child reads everything from books to magazines to cereal boxes. On the Internet, including links and windows, you lose ... literally
Thank you so much, girls, and congratulations on your well deserved success! Until next time!
