For example, Emilio Salgari was a most popular Italian writer, he wrote many books about Sandokan, a Malaysian hero having lots of adventures in the jungle, with pirates and tigers and stuff like that. He had not a single Malaysian blood tear and never moved from Turin. He got what every good author should have: an endless imagination and a real talent. No need to say that being Italian American would be an extra-bonus ("la ciliegina sulla torta", we say---the cherry on top of the cake) I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
