sottotitolo: t’oo ricordi Vàrtere?
When an agent/editor asks for the first three chapters of your fiction manuscript, does that include the prologue (prologue, chapter one, chapter two) or is the prologue optional?
If your prologue is optional to the story, then you can leave it out of your submission.
But then if your prologue is optional to the story, I’d recommend you leave it out of the book.
I get a little itchy when faced with a prologue; experience says most prologues will be better as chapter 1, or worked piecemeal into the main story, or left out entirely.
The place for backstory is not the front of your story.

Carole Lombard & Clark Gable, shortly after their marriage in 1939 (via cineimages).
“You can trust that little screwball with your life or your hopes or your weaknesses, and she wouldn’t even know how to think about letting you down.”
-Clark Gable
“Lord knows I love Clark, but he is the worst lay in town.”
-Carole Lombard
(Apparently, he agreed. When questioned about rumors that he was an unexciting lover, Gable replied, “It’s true - I can’t emote worth a damn”)

“The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.”

Un commento (lo user si chiama “Azzurro”) nei commenti dell’articolo online del Guardian in cui si ventila un’ipotesi di G7 (senza l’Italia, appunto) o G8 ancora, ma con la Spagna.
Gli altri commenti, tutti, sono bellissimi.
E io mi vergogno sempre di più, tanto da dire sempre e comunque dopo il “sono Italiano” “no con quello lì io non c’entro niente” (via junkiepop)
Uno dei migliori:
“Uhmmm…. we read few weeks ago about talks between Obama and Gorbatchev on a possible strategy to isolate Berlusconi and his growing power.” [Italyisthebest]
