(Adnkronos) - “Sono stata a Capri 10 anni fa in occasione della mia luna di miele e il fatto di tornare qui per ritirare un premio per il mio lavoro è davvero una cosa straordinaria e doppiamente magica”. Cosi la scrittrice britannica Rachel Cusk dopo aver ricevuto il Premio Malaparte, nella splendida cornice della Certosa di San Giacomo a Capri, un evento che ha attirato l'attenzione di critici e lettori, curato da Gabriella Buontempo e con il sostegno di Ferrarelle Società Benefit.

00:00So we came here 10 years ago for our honeymoon and it was a magical experience, the one in Caprese.
00:13The fact of coming back on the occasion of a recognition for my work is really an extraordinary and doubly magical thing for me.
00:21Particularly appreciated by the Italian readers, in your books you put in the center the identity, some themes like maternity, in a world that is going substantially in the opposite direction compared to these two fundamental values.
00:38I guess that makes me feel...
01:08Yes, I know Alberto Moravia, I am a great reader of his. I was lucky enough to discover him when I was still a young writer.
01:23The elements of his writing, such as compassion, realism, lack of sentimentality, have really impressed me and have been very informative for me as a writer.
01:33I have been writing for a long time and therefore I have had many different influences in my writing and these influences must also change.
01:43If you want to change as a writer, you must also change your points of reference and therefore it is important to find new things.
01:52At the moment, since I moved to live in France, I am looking a lot at French literature.
01:58I have written a book that is about to be published in Italy and this book represents for me a decisive leap forward.
02:09It is an important challenge, it is much more abstract, I don't know what my readers and readers will think about it.
02:17However, this is certainly a project that will include some other books moving in this rather different direction.
