Talk, Talk: A Children's Book Author Speaks to Grown-Ups
by E.L. KonigsburgIn TalkTalk E. L. Konigsburg presents a selection of speeches she has given over a period of 25 years. In her introduction to the first speech, and to the book as a whole, she explains:"While each of my books has been written because I had a story I wanted to tell, these speeches were written because I had something I wanted to say. The audience for the former is children; for the latter, adults.... I recognize -- with a measure of amused detachment -- that some were written as a reaction to trends; others, to fads.I have given these talks in cafetoriums, auditoriums, and the public rooms of Holiday Inns. Even though I have not always been on a stage when addressing an audience, I have tried to set the stage. Between talk and talk, I have written passages connecting the speeches to the time in which they were written and to one another. And that is TalkTalk."Always a thought-provoking speaker, she has chosen nine speeches that capture the essence of her years as a writer for children. When brought together, they enrich one another and provide a chance to look back at what children's books have been, to observe where they are now and to offer an insightful look at what books may continue to mean to children in the years to come. Written by an outstanding author, these speeches, individually and together, represent a vision of the need for books and the role books have played and should continue to play in the lives of children.

Para mí el amor es eso, esperas una cosa y te encuentras con otra -fue la respuesta.» Enrico e Irene cortaron hace más de un año, pero todavía hay cosas que no se han dicho. En cambio, Gianluca y Aldo, los padres de Enrico, están obstinados en amarse a toda costa, incluso cuando ya es demasiado tarde, cuando el amor se ha convertido en indiferencia. En eso piensa Enrico en el momento en que decide ir a buscar a Irene para confesarle lo que todavía siente por ella. Ahora le toca a Irene decidir el futuro de su relación y, mientras Enrico espera su respuesta, no puede evitar plantearse otra vez: ¿tiene sentido luchar por un amor que no es recíproco? Los lectores dicen...«Me ha fascinado cómo está escrito. Es como una especie de prosa poética que está tan de moda está últimamente. Son metáforas muy potentes, son imágenes muy fuertes...»Javier Ruescas en Youtube «Tiene muy buenos mensajes. Es muy importante la comunicación, el respeto, la tolerancia o la confianza en la otra persona, creo que son valores buenos que transmite el libro.»Nube de palabras «La historia de Dikele invita totalmente a la reflexión sobre las emociones humanas y las relaciones de pareja. Una novela completamente diferente, no apta para lectores que busquen una historia dulce y azucarada. Busca lectores que quieran conocer el amor, despedirse de él y dejar quesus corazones conozcan una parte más profunda y realista. 4/5.»Little Red Read «Antonio Dikele me ha enamorado [#]. Un libro que te devuelve a esa adolescencia que todos hemos tenido, estamos teniendo o tendremos. No puedo decir nada malo de ella.» «Tarde o temprano nos abrazaremos es una novela que engancha, que ahonda en los sentimientos del protagonista y que es capaz de hacer que el lector empatice con todos y cada uno de los personajes.
