If I think of all the stories I dreamed of writing, that I wrote down to write in the future and never picked up again, that I wrote in the form of short stories, that I started writing as never-finished novels, that I planned as novels and that I'm writing, there isn't even one that's busy . I'm an uncommitted writer, in every sense. Yet entertainment stories have always come to mind for me, certainly because I almost only read entertainment stories. Last year I read just two novels that I could define as "engaged": Fury by John Steinbeck and The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. In reality, some busy stories came to mind too. Perhaps the story “ The Other Side of the Street ” is. A few years ago I had two ideas for busy novels, but I reserve the right to work on them when I get older, if I get older. The fact is that I have always seen stories as... stories , exactly. For me, the author is the storyteller or storyteller of the past.
And he does it with writing rather than with his voice. The writer virtually sits in front of a fire and tells a story to those around him; in short, he entertains his audience. And the moral of old fairy tales? I don't think we can define the fairy tales of the past as committed stories. Perhaps they are a narrative that is halfway between Special Data entertainment and social commitment. Often the moral or the message could be read between the lines. A narrative with a double interpretation. What is an entertainment story? This word seems to denote futility. But “entertainment” is a term that perhaps hides a broader meaning. In the Treccani dictionary this definition is given: Entertaining pleasantly; in a more concrete sense, pastime, entertainment. Here, rightly, the verb entertain is involved. But what does “entertain” mean? More on Treccani: Entertaining one or more people by doing or saying pleasant things that interest and delight.
Entertainment, therefore, is not only limited to pleasure and delight, but also to interest. I can entertain myself by reading a historical essay on the Second World War or on climate change or by reading the biography of a singer or a historical figure or by reading a comic or a classic novel from the 18th century or a modern thriller. Horror stories are considered entertaining fiction, but I don't think they're that funny. Post-apocalyptic and dystopian science fiction is also entertainment, but it's certainly not fun. Is 1984 by George Orwell a story worth reading that delights the soul? Every time we write, don't we want to entertain our readers? Entertaining them means nothing more than keeping them there , in front of our pages, with their eyes fixed on our words, from the beginning to the end of the story we have written.
