La Gatta Lucianese:
But not, I think, for children or young adults, an audience that
expects a more artistic and emotionally satisfying structuring. Kids
don't really want to read about people doing laundry, however
realistic it is. And I think they'd be really bothered by character
motivation that doesn't make sense.
