They will have 45 minutes to discuss my novel. The event takes place on August 1st, at 19:00 at the Teatri di Vita.
I'm really excited and wish I could be there!
This is how the seminar is described in the program:
"Quali perversioni si celano dietro l’angelica ispirazione musicale di Georg Friedrich Händel, il più grande compositore barocco del Settecento? Quale tipo di passione divorava il grande compositore, che andava in estasi di fronte ai ragazzi, o meglio ai cantanti castrati? Norra Skane ha definito il romanzo “Händel e un destino perverso” di Carl-Michael Edenborg “una vera orgia attraverso la sensualità di Händel, scritta in una prosa elegante e a tratti straordinariamente brillante, che dà una marcia in più al tocco spesso grottesco”…"
"What perversions lie behind the angelic musical inspiration of Georg Friedrich Handel, the greatest Baroque composer of the eighteenth century? What kind of passion devoured the great composer, who was in ecstasy in front of the boys of which the best singers were castrated? The newspaper Norra Skane has called Edenborg's novel Händel e un destino perverso "a real orgy through the sensuality of Händel, written in an elegant and sometimes extraordinarily brilliant prose, which gives an edge to the often grotesque story"..."
