Synopsis "Personality "

Growing up on the Scottish Isle of Bute, Maria Tambini is a young girl with dreams of escape from her Italian immigrant family. When her amazing singing voice wins her a talent show at the tender age of thirteen, she is whisked off to London and instant stardom. But even as Maria is celebrating her greatest success, she is waging a hidden battle against her own body, and becoming in the process a living exhibit in the modern drama of celebrity. Can she be saved by love? Or will she be consumed by an obsessive celebrity culture, family lies, and by her number-one fan? This stunning novel is a rich portrait of an immigrant community and a tragic tale of the hidden costs of celebrity.

Andrew O'Hagan (born in 1968 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish novelist and essayist, known for his ability to intertwine fiction and non-fiction in his works. He has been nominated three times for the Booker Prize and has won the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2003, he was selected as one of the Best of Young British Novelists by Granta magazine.

Among his most notable works are "Our Fathers" (1999), "Personality" (2003), and "Be Near Me" (2006), all novels that explore identity and human relationships. His novel "Mayflies" (2020) was awarded the Christopher Isherwood Prize and adapted into a BBC miniseries in 2022. His most recent work, "Caledonian Road" (2024), delves into corruption in contemporary London through a narrative reminiscent of Dickens and Zola.

Daniel Eugenio Visciglio Saturday, December 18, 2021

Se basa en una historia real, la de la niña cantante escocesa Lena Hilda Zavaroni ( 1963-1999 ) quien es la persona mas joven de la historia en tener un simple y un long-play entre los 10 primeros en el chart britanico. Por razones obvias el autor cambia algunos hechos y deja pocos personajes reales que interactuaron con Zavaroni ( Uno de ellos es Hughie Green, presentador historico de "Opportunity Knocks" donde Lena Zavaroni salto a la fama en febrero de 1974 ) , pero como la historia de Zavaroni es muy triste y conocida del publico britanico , el autor aprovecho astutamente para novelarla y darle otro fin al del ente real. Lena Zavaroni tiene Fan Page sostenida por muchos que la conocieron personalmente y puedes ver toda su historia artistica ( De 1974 hasta 1985 ) en varios cortos videos subidos en "Youtube" como este https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl115658k9k en el que canta con el duo brtitanico Morecambe & Wise
