Melissa Ruggieri: What have you been listening to?C.H.: A lot of Kate Bush. I found (her 1978 debut single) "Wuthering Heights" one day, and I saw the video and was like, what the hell is this? It sucked me in, even though it was my least favorite (Emily) Brontë book.
The book that changed your life?Lots of books have been changing my life in various small and incremental ways since childhood. One that stands out is Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which I read in my late teens. It gave me an understanding of the need to question received narratives.
We’re living through a moment in which there’s real interest in suppressed female narratives. Were you aware of being part of a movement?I think it was something I was aware of because, growing up, I was obsessed with Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad and Wide Sargasso Sea, which I guess are the forerunners of this movement. That idea of the madwoman in the attic, asking why isn’t she there. This book took me since 2015 to write, and a lot of the books you’re talking about have come out in the interim – The Silence of the Girls and A Thousand Ships – but I looked at them and thought: Oh good. I’m not striking out on my own. I’m part of a community that thinks the same way about these things.
We meet Bertie (Idella Johnson) practicing a song, singing something that she isn’t artistically connecting to alongside her husband Fred (Lucien Guignard) who is playing guitar. (...) Bertie spends most of her days puttering around the large farmhouse, lounging in its pool reading Jane Eyre or shopping in the market of the nearby village. She seems in stasis, withdrawn from her surroundings. (Hillary Butler)

Charlotte, Emily i Anne Brontë: Tri sestre koje su promijenile književnost
Sestre Brontë odrasle su na surovom sjeveru Engleske, a iako im ni društvene norme ni okolnosti nisu išle u prilog, uspjele su postati jedne od najutjecajniji britanskih spisateljica svih vremena. Životne priče Charlotte, Emily i Anne Brontë. (Translation)
Väck läslusten med omarbetade klassikerCharlotte Brontë (Argasso bokförlag). Boken handlar om föräldralösa Jane Eyre i 1880-talets England. Jane tvingas bo med sin elaka elaka fru och blir senare skickad till en skola för fattiga barn. Där stannar hon för att sedan själv bli en av skolans lärare. Men Jane längtar efter självständighet och tar tjänst som guvernant hos en mystisk Mr Rochester och hans gods Thornfield. Efter en tid upptäcker Jane att godset döljer mörka hemligheter. I det här seriealbumet får manusförfattaren Amy Corzine och illustratören John M. Burns läsaren Burns läsaren att uppleva den klassiska berättelsen på ett helt nytt sätt. Passar barn från nio år.

Publicada en 1847 bajo el seudónimo de Ellis Bell, Cumbres borrascosas hipnotiza y envuelve al lector en una maraña de pasiones, odio, sed de venganza, amor no correspondido y desengaño. Se trata de una historia de pasiones encontradas en la Inglaterra rural más conservadora. La trama se inicia con Catherine, la hija de una familia distinguida, y Heathcliff, un campesino adoptado por esa familia, que pasan de ser compañeros de juego de infancia a enamorarse. Las secuelas de ese amor imposible afectarán a sus protagonistas y también a sus descendientes a lo largo de varias generaciones. (Translation)
Nuria Azancot: ¿Tiene ya clara su identidad, ha descubierto si es una autora caribeña, criolla, africana, francesa, afroiamericana, o quizá le molestan las etiquetas, los intentos de domesticarla y clasificarla?M.C:. No me gustan las etiquetas. Para mí, la literatura es lo que une a los hombres. Descubrí mi vocación leyendo Cumbres borrascosas de Emily Brontë. Emily Brontë es una autora inglesa, hija de un pastor protestante, que vivía en el condado de Yorkshire, en Inglaterra. No puede haber nada más alejado de mí, nada más diferente. (Translation)
