Featured Interview With Giancarlo Roversi
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m a musician and a computer engineer. Since I was a child, I loved art. I was born and raised in Venezuela. Now I am living in Getafe (Spain). Oh no, unfortunately, I don’t have any pets, but I would love to.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Maybe it’s a coincidence, but when I was ten years old, I suffered an accident on a small train—I was unable to walk for a year and almost lost a foot. During those months when I couldn’t even get up, I wolfed down dozens of books by Agatha Christie and other authors.
I also wrote my first short story. It was in the horror genre, and I always pictured the main character running away from a horde of zombie with the first part of the song “Magnetic Fields I” by Jean Michel Jarre playing as a background music.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are George Orwell, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Dan Simmons, Anne Rice, Gillian Flynn, Cormac McCarthy, Oriana Fallaci. Phew, this list could also continue for hours.
My favorite genre is science fiction. This is because it gives you thousands of possibilities. It’s thought-provoking and presents a range of philosophical issues I love. But what I like most about science fiction—hard-but-not-that-hard—is that it allows me to talk about one of my favorite subjects: the cosmos.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
I’ve just published two books: Pulstar I – “The Swan Barely Remembers” (the first of a trilogy) and its prequel Nerve. They are all part of the Pulstarverse.
The Pulstar trilogy is science fiction, alternate reality, and dystopia with a touch of romance. Nerve is science fiction with thriller, mystery, and a tinge of horror, perhaps.
I gave up a traditional life and spent ten years creating the Pulstar trilogy, including its music. I had made a promise to someone very special in my life who’s no longer on this planet.
