I love Anne Rice. Okay but why?
This is a name that was in a corner of my bookshelf when I was a child, of which I was not yet consciously aware, and which I only saw but never wondered about. Even though we had not met yet, books by this author could somehow find a place in my library. Later, I attempted to read it many times, but unfortunately, for a long time, there was no Anne Rice novel that I could say I finished. I think the most important reason for this was my expectations at that time and the fact that Anne Rice vampires were not at all like the vampires in my dreams.
Interview with the Vampire was a novel that I read with great pleasure and curiosity. The book revolves around Vampire Louis telling his life story to a journalist. I thought I would be bored when I started, but neither was I bored nor did I encounter an ordinary work as I expected. Anne Rice has handled Vampire literature from a very realistic and philosophical perspective, and she has managed to make the reader, at least me, feel how possible such a fantastic and supernatural situation could be. The religious elements that make their presence felt frequently in the book and the religious questions that a vampire desperately falls into were the parts that should be and are the most likely parts that could happen, which greatly won my appreciation. That divine, at the same time romantic and erotic atmosphere that dominates all pages; I can say that life and melancholy in the dark fascinated me.
If you are looking for a masterfully written novel that explains the concept of vampire in all its nakedness, will take you from country to country in an immortal life, and will make you feel that loneliness and emptiness completely, I definitely recommend it.
