“It's a real novel.
There is a real romantic breath.
We are passionate about and moved by your book, so I wanted to congratulate you.
It is a price more than deserved ”.
On November 23, the novelist Maxime Chattam awarded the
20 Minutes
Prize for the novel to Giselda Gargano for her story
The Ultimate Frontier
(Editions Les Nouveaux Auteurs) on the theme "the world after".
The opportunity for the president of the jury to congratulate the new winner but also to discuss with her around the genesis and writing of her novel.
While the author is a former journalist for a humanitarian association, what is the share of invention and reality in this story which traces fifty years of humanitarian aid and chronicles the daily life of NGO staff?
His moral on the world after
“I think it's my outlook on things, on characters, on situations that is true.
It's my moral to the world.
My vision of things.
Afterwards, the characters are invented and everything is invented.
There is nothing personal, says Giselda Gargano.
What is personal is the conflict.
This is what I went through, what went through me that's mind for a while.
I needed to stage this conflict.
And especially not to have a look of judgment ”.
If, like Giselda Gargano, you are tempted by the adventure of writing, do not hesitate to compete for the third edition of the
20 Minutes
Prize for the novel, on the theme of "the conquest".
