Ursula Le Guin vient de répondre à une interview du Times sur son roman Lavinia sorti l'année dernière.

C'est à lire ici.

Petit extrait :
What attracted you to Lavinia as a subject for a novel?
Ursula Le Guin : Just reading the Aeneid, and getting fascinated with the whole poem, but then finding this character that has no voice, and kind of wondering a little bit why Virgil, who's good with women – look at Dido, and so on – why he didn't do anything with her. And kind of realizing, it just wouldn't fit in the structure of his poem. He couldn't. He had to do the battles.

But there she is, there's a person who could be a character, obviously, and could be a strong one. She's the mother of Rome. So I got thinking, what did she think about all this? They're both of them being pushed around by oracles, and destiny, and we know what Aeneas thinks about it, but we don't know what she thought.
