Le blog Bookaholics Anonymous publie une interview en langue anglaise de Gail Carriger à l'occasion de la sortie de son nouveau roman, Heartless, nouvelle aventure d'Alexia Tarabotti.

L'auteure y évoque son nouveau roman, bien sûr, ainsi que sa manière de travailler et ses sources d'inspiration.

En voici un extrait, et pour la suite, c'est ici :

Citation:

“Your latest book in the Parasol Protectorate series Heartless is just out, can you tell us a little bit about it?” Well, I tend to try to parody different types of Victorian literature with each Parasol Protectorate book. Soulless poked fun at the early romance novels, Changeless went back to the gothic roots of all my favourite genres, Blameless was intended to be an Alan-Quartermian-style Boy's Adventure novel. Heartless is a cosy Sherlock-Holmes-style mystery. Alexia hasn't Sherlock's mind but she has his practical approach to problem solving, and his propensity for charging about willy-nilly no holds barred. However, the role of Dr. Watson will be played by an every increasing bevy of adorable young men. A girl's gotta have her fun!
