She started writing in Paris when she was 29 years old. The reason her novels have not come in Albanian for the Albanian reader has a trigger. His name is E DI RAMA.
We're talking about the writer who wants to see the truth naked, without masks, and since yesterday, he came across the Albanian public at “Literature and City”, Ornela Vorpsy.
She has never concealed her sympathies about her friend, her former prisoner, Edi Rama, so she said publicly that the Albanian translation project was promised by the prime minister. But since the latter, with its many political affairs, has not found the time to sit down and translate Ornea into Albanian.
Invited today to COD, at the prime minister's facilities, where there will be the first personal exhibition in Albania, “Provience”, Ornela, reports about friends of the book, proximity, but also the distance she has created with her friend, Edi Rama.
I met Eddie at the Institute of Arts at age 18. I came from a family my father was thrown into prison, and before Enver Hoxha died, I was not allowed to attend the Academy of Arts. After his death, I started studying where I wanted to. And I was at the academy when Eddie was a professor. He was only 22 years old, and he was so skilled that he was held in Cateder” She confessed last afternoon.
“Edi, was evidently in extraordinary distance with what Albania was offering at the time. Maybe he had his chances. But whatever. He had charisma, charm, and read a great deal. For me, the abyss between Edith and the other professors was a big”, Tells Ornela, of the prime minister who today will host her at the COD for her first exhibition at the place where she was born.
Who didn't love Eddie? With Eddie, I was in love platonically. He didn't love me. As a man, for me, there was a genius”, And the hall bursts out laughing out of sincerity without the pretty girl's gloves, today 49, mother of a 9 year old girl.
You should know, since he was in Paris, he fascinated all of Paris. Because he's got all kinds of eloquence and culture. Do you think there was at that time such a young and well-known man speaking of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger (German philozop, the most familiar and most important for the 20th century ʹ footnote)” Ornela Vorpsi says, while not hiding admiration for Eddie Rama, artist.
But harassment by journalists to assess Edi Rama as politician, Ornela avoids them, but tactfully.
I've been living abroad for 27 years. I don't know Eddie as a politician. I can't follow it all this way, because I'm not immersed in Albanian life” says, even in an apparent head move, he wants to express that he will not even see this position of his friend, although there is a detail, which he points out with superlative notes to the prime minister.
But keep in mind, can you imagine that the prime minister has made a COD (center for openness and dialogue) within the prime minister. I haven't seen, and I've walked around a lot, in no other country, to bring in the citizen in with the art and culture and education. A government that builds a space where citizenship comes and meets with the artist, and made at such a high level, is very significant”, Says Ornela Vorpsi, Albanian writer highly esteemed in the international arena, but for the first time presented to the Albanian public today with its personal display “Provience”/ NEWSBOMB.
