Between two voices

Writing dialogue is a real challenge for the novelist; it is connected to a set of highly precise artistic choices, which the writer finds himself compelled to weigh against each other, through trial and error, in a process similar to experimental work, which takes dozens of attempts of writing and erasing until reaching the desired form. Literary writing is "nothing but carpentry," as Marquez says, and therefore it requires high professionalism and sharp awareness of the nature of the artistic decisions that the novelist should make to produce his work in the desired form. One of the most important questions facing the novelist within his text is the question of dialogue. This book is an attempt in this regard.
