How To Soften Leather Jacket

Your stars are dwarfs


Your stars are dwarfs Catherine Venturini is an interesting and original debut, is a testimony to the care with which the major Italian newspapers reported the event.
not hard to imagine why. In that time terribly media, all that appears, which frames the facts, is more important than the facts themselves. I'm talking about setting because, rightly, the very framework within which unfolds the story of your stars are dwarf becomes preponderance. In fact, the novel tells the story of a girl who, coming from the province, the city is trying to become someone through work, and is encased in the usual course of workshops, meetings, master, and so on: In short, the classic obstacle course of insecurity.
And the setting for this story is a sort of game with levels to overcome the obstacles to be killed and so on. The language follows this frame, alternating between techno language websites to a professional technical, bureaucratic language to a computer technician.
So is the frame that immediately arouses the attention and hits the player, the frame is the host. Hence the media interest, always and only attracted by the "package". From this point of view, the novel certainly deserves to be read. It is an attempt to tell an original theme is not new and is therefore appropriate that this element of originality has often been appreciated.
However, the book disappoints in the end a bit '. And the disappointment lies in the fact that it is very concentrated and very sharply on the frame leaving a bit 'but what is the heart of the novel itself: that is the dramatic story, the story, the plot.
If in fact the game is represented as an obstacle course with various levels to overcome, this is not an equal power of dramatic narrative. The characters are superficial, as if they were just that, drawn on an electronic screen, just stylized. It told the story leaves the reader a bit 'cold, they can not emotionally involved, to excite.
It seems that your stars are dwarfs, while harshly criticizing the current world of mostrasi and perverse game of the meetings useful to assert, in a word, the civilization of exteriority, then falls heavily in the same defects, failing to give depth to the characters and events that deserve a much different focus.
It 's a sin to have concentrated on the "package". Whether a similar passion was also devoted to the substance, we might have touched the masterpiece.
