This work, praised by writers Jane Tutikian and Charles Kiefer, has been pointed out as a model for dissertations and theses in the area of Creative Writing. It deals with the author’s creative process during the composition of her first literary novel, entitled Weakness, thy name. Many of the doubts and anxieties that a young writer experiences when faced with the mysteries of artistic creation are examined in a sincere and humble way. This results in considerations about the nature of the character, the inner conflict, the composition of scenes, the unfolding of the plot, in a work in which the author’s texts are repeatedly compared to other texts, in an intertextual network that crosses the boundaries of fiction to look for ideas in psychoanalytic essays, theoretical books, impressionist paintings, etc.
