For a long time, the first sentence went to bed early, waiting discreetly under the cover of the book for someone to come and wake it up. Novel opened, first sentence awakened, it stood firmly in the front row to welcome readers with the heavy responsibility of taking them into a new world.
Then the first sentence had a craving for freedom. It took a liking to running away, proclaiming its autonomy, breaking its ties with the book that birthed it. Paul Vacca, berfrois
in effetti, che responsabilità, essere la prima frase!
E le finaliste al Women’s prize for fiction:
Six countries are represented on this year’s Women’s prize for fiction shortlist, with Meg Mason and Elif Shafak
among those in the running for the £30,000 prize. The New Zealander and
the Turkish-British author are up against two Americans, one
American-Canadian and a Trinidadian debut novelist. Lucy Knight, The Guardian
