"This book, which I was privileged that I was dedicated at the Soaring Books, the charming and very friendly Carolina Vermalle is just great. The story is beautiful, endearing characters and the author knows handled correctly, humor, tenderness or emotion over the pages of his writings. "

The genius of Roald Dahl


In the life of a writer, there are revelations. For me there was, in bulk and not in order of preference, Witold Gombrowicz, Jorn Riel, Ayn Rand, Marguerite Yourcenar, Tennessee Williams, Jean Giono and some others.

It's rare, anyway, these findings intense, burning almost, that recognition of a voice, a style that resonates so powerfully in so we want to write, write, write because yes, we know now, we're born for this .

I write this post today because I just made one of those unforgettable encounters. It's Roald Dahl.

Everyone knows Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Matilda", "Fantastic Mr Fox", etc.. Little, I loved his stories, illustrated by Quentin Blake. But what I'm reading right now is not for children. These are his stories for adults.

I confess bluntly: in general, new bore me. I found the plot soft, the "slices of life" always made me gaping. I like turning situations, fall surprisingly, the "twists". But the new leaves she have enough time to the author to develop and articulate a plot worthy of the name? I doubted it. Until I read Roald Dahl.

At first I really enjoyed myself. A dozen news later, I knew I wanted my man. A master of intrigue exceptional. A stunning free-style. A perfectionist in every line, especially in the fall of the story, pure pleasure. More than a hint of malice and tons of black humor, but a true love of his characters he pampers. Great art.

I leave you with the words of this great man, who, in a radio interview , we posed the following question :

What is it like writing a book ?

RD : When you're writing it's rather like going on a very long walk, across valleys and montains and things, and you get the first view of what you see and you write it down. Then you walk a bit further, maybe up on to the top of a hill, and you see something else, then you write that, and you go on like that, day after day, getting different views of the same landscape, really. The highest mountain on the walk is obviously the end of the book because it's got to be the best view of all, when everything comes together and you can look back Everything you've done and see all parts up. But It's a very, very long slow process.

All hail Roald.
