Emmanuel Carrère arrives at the Costa Smeralda Award, to collect the International Award, in the wake of the latest book "V13", the story of the trial for the attacks which in November 2015, Friday the 13th (hence the title of the text), hit Paris, shocking France.
But the French writer boasts a long list of publishing successes, and then the question, the one on the subject of a book, arises spontaneously. Moreover. Because for Carrère it is "the greatest of all", he says. "For me the subject is the hard core from which to start, so much so that if I don't have one I can't even write", revealed this morning Carrère, who will collect the recognition of the Costa Smeralda tonight in Porto Cervo.
First time in Sardinia, he says "grateful for the prize". Then admitting: "The critics have always treated me well, which I don't know how positive it is - he ironically - because you can learn from detractors too". Meanwhile, while working on the adaptation of a book for the cinema, he is planning his next mission aboard a Doctors Without Borders ship. From which he will draw, we can bet, a new report. And – who knows – the next publishing success.
