Lara Cardella (born November 13, 1969 in Licata, Italy) is an Italian writer. She is best known for her best seller novel ''Good girls don't wear trousers''. == Biography == Her first book ''Good Girls Don't Wear Trousers'' (in Italian: ''Volevo i pantaloni''), written when she was nineteen, caused a scandal in the small Sicilian community where she lived because it fiercely criticized what she perceived as the backwardness and chauvinism of contemporary sicilian society. The controversy surrounding the book, as well as the young age of its author, contributed to make it a huge bestseller in Italy and the novel was translated in many languages and published across the rest of Europe, in Brazil and Korea. A film based on the novel, titled ''Volevo i pantaloni'', came out in 1990. In 1991 she wrote ''Intorno a Laura'', a novel based on an original structure which combines the traditional novel structure and that of theatrical drama, showing she was able to experiment new solutions and themes. ''Fedra se ne va'' and ''Una ragazza normale'' followed, in 1992 and 1994 respectively, but none of them matched the enormous success of her first book. In 1995, perhaps in the effort of renewing her success as a writer, she wrote the sequel to her first novel: ''Volevo i pantaloni 2''. She then changed publisher, leaving Mondadori for Rizzoli. With this publisher she released ''Detesto il soft'' (1997), a dreamy novel centred on morbid sexuality, and ''Finestre accese'' (2000), her last novel so far, where the lives of the two main female characters are followed down the years through the entries in their personal journals and where Cardella addresses for the first time the theme of mafia. She currently lives in Genzano, near Rome. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lara Cardella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
