Francesca L. Block

    Francesca Lia Block è un'autrice le cui opere esplorano spesso le vulnerabilità dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza con una miscela unica di fantasia e cruda realtà. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da una qualità lirica e un linguaggio poetico che evocano un'atmosfera sognante pur toccando profonde emozioni umane. Block intreccia magistralmente il soprannaturale con le lotte quotidiane dei suoi personaggi, creando narrazioni che sono sia senza tempo che urgentemente contemporanee. La sua scrittura è spesso celebrata per il suo approccio pionieristico nel rappresentare personaggi e temi emarginati.

      In 1989 Francesca Lia Block made a dazzling entrance into the literary scene with what would become one of the most talked-about books of the decade; Weetzie Bat. This poetic roller coaster swoop has a sleek new design to match its new sister and brother books, Goat Girls and Beautiful Boys. Rediscover the magic of Weetzie Bat, Ms. Block's sophisticated, slinkster-cool love song to L.A., the book that shattered the standard, captivated readers of all generations, and made Francesca Lia Block one of the most heralded authors of the last decade.This could be a book about cheap cheese and bean burritos, slinkster dogs, lanky lizards and rubber chickens ...Or strawberry sundaes with marshmallow toppings, surfing, stage-diving and sleeping on the beach ...It could even be a book about magic. But what it's definitely about is Weetzie Bat, her best friend Dirk and their search across L.A. for the most dangerous angel of all ...true love.
