“The writer must write like a spider, Henry James said, filtering reality through his web, in lightness and movement. I have always been fascinated by this theme: from what position – well or hot air balloon, burrow or summit – do I look at and tell my story? And who am I, while I live it by narrating it? Each one of us, all of us, has a narrative voice inside, which provides and expresses our narration. Because we are this: narration. More or less free and happy, more often rough and shady, but narration among others, infinitely mutable and shared. This is what I tell in my novels, after all. The transformation of a voice that becomes an orchestra, a story, stories. And that, in the spirit of Italo Calvino, produces new forms of the novel, with new language and structure, to tell a fluid and multiple present, accelerated and precarious. In the sign of a funambulist I.” Elvira Seminara
