The author, director and screenwriter has just published his first play titled Extras. On Conversations, she discusses her new text, her writing practice, and her more personal turmoil.
After the novel, Delfina de Vigan enters a new literary field, the theater. His latest book is actually a piece called Extras and published by Gallimard publications. A development that flowed naturally after her novel Gratitude adapted for the theater. The guest of the “Talks” program, the author explains to the deputy editor Joseph Gossin. Madame Figarothe sources of this first theatrical experience. “I wrote this novel, which is a bit of a hybrid (…) with the idea that maybe it will make me want to play it.” With offering a choice Extras the play is justified by its “visual dimension”. And in more detail. “They are the invisibles of cinema. They are both part of the decor (…) we absolutely need them (…) and at the same time we should not see them.
Write at night
During the show, he published 10 novels, including Neither do I, Nothing disturbs the nightAnd Based on a true story who have won literary prizes such as the Goncourt de licen, Renaudot or Booksellers Prize, also discusses his literary creative experience. First written at night when he was hired by day at RATP, a rhythm where he had a “feeling of doing violence to me,” with “very detached writing.” His dismissal is then an occasion for “writing in the light of day.” Then he can immerse himself in the worlds he explores through “part of the documents.” “If I’m talking about a profession, a world, I want to know it as well as possible,” he explains.
He also admits that he has started writing his next novel. “I hope I found the right entry point to bring it to life.” The answer in a few months.
