Kuyinto emangazayo yemibhalo e-Italy, iba indaba eyisibonelo. Umbhali osemncane uye wabusa ohlwini lwezincwadi ezithengiswa kakhulu kusukela ngehlobo eledlule. Usayina ngaphansi kwegama mbumbulu elithi Erin Doom ngoba ufuna ukugcina ubumfihlo bakhe. Abazali bakhe nabangane abaseduze kuphela abamaziyo. Igama lakhe nguMatilde, uneminyaka engaphansi kwengama-30 ubudala, uneziqu zomthetho izinyanga ezimbalwa futhi uhlala nabazali bakhe esifundeni sase-Emilia Romagna.
Usedayise amakhophi angaphezu kuka-250.000 ezincwadi zakhe ezimbili kuphela. Eyokuqala, 'Fabricante di lacrime' ('Menzi Wezinyembezi'), ibe phezulu kwezithengiswa kakhulu izinyanga; kanti eyesibili, 'Nel modo in cui cade la neve' ('Ngendlela iqhwa eliwa ngayo'), eyanyatheliswa ngo-January, nayo ivela phezulu ohlwini olucelwe kakhulu.
Impumelelo ezuziwe, ngenxa yezwi lomlomo kanye nenkundla yezokuxhumana ye-TikTok, enqoba abantu abasha ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngaphandle kwephephandaba elishicilele isibuyekezo somsebenzi wakhe.
Muva nje, ebona ukuthi u-Erin Doom akazange anyamalale endaweni ephezulu ohlwini lwababhali abadayiswa kakhulu, bonke abezindaba babe nesithakazelo ku-pseudonym engaqondakali, ukuthola imithetho emangazayo yokuthi incwadi kufanele yenze umcimbi wokushicilela. U-Erin Doom ngokungangabazeki uwuhlobo luka-Elena Ferrante omusha, inombolo engaqondakali nedumile, umbhali we-tetralogy 'Umngane omangalisayo', othengise amakhophi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-10 emhlabeni jikelele, ngokuhumusha okukhokhelwayo phakathi nekhulu leminyaka.
Ekuqaleni, i-'Fabricante di lacrime' yashicilelwa ku-Wattpad, inkundla yamahhala yokufunda nokubhala ku-inthanethi esishicilele izigidi zamanoveli, izinkondlo, izindaba ezimfushane, izindatshana nezinye izinhlobo zemibhalo ngezilimi ezingaphezu kuka-50. Incwadi ka-Erin Doom yedlula izigidi eziyisithupha zabafundi. Emphakathini we-Wattpad yase-Italy kukhona ababhalisile abayizigidi ezingu-1,5 kanye nezindaba ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-14. Kulolu lwandle olugcwele 'izinhlanzi', i-algorithm igqamisa izindaba ezifundwa kakhulu, okuvumela abashicileli noma abahloli bemibhalo ukuthi babone ukuthi ubani ophumelele kakhulu.
Isinyathelo esilandelayo sika-Matilde-Erin kwaba ukuzishicilela yena le ncwadi ku-Amazon ngoDisemba 2020. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, ngashayela umshicileli ucingo uMagazini Salani, owakhipha uhlelo olusha, olucocekile. Bona ukuqhuma kwemibhalo ka-Erin Doom ezincwadini (erindoom_libri, ku-Instagram).
Engxoxweni yakhe yokuqala ngocingo, uMatilde-Erin wachazela i-'La Repubblica' ukuthi kungani kwakudingeka alandele indlela evamile yokushicilela incwadi kuwebhu: "Ukwazi ukuba nencwadi yangempela ezandleni zakho, hhayi nje ku-inthanethi, kubaluleke kakhulu . Futhi kuhle ukuthi abantu abasha bafuna ukuya esitolo sezincwadi baphathe incwadi, mhlawumbe bayidwebele”.
Abalingiswa bezincwadi ezimbili ze-Erin Doom, u-Nica no-Ivy, bayizintandane. “Bengifuna ukugqamisa ukubaluleka kokuba nomndeni, ngigcizelele ukushoda kwawo: kuyindikimba eqinile kubadlali bami engibavelele, ngaphezu kwendaba yothando,” kuchaza lo mbhali osemusha. Icala lakhe liyamangalisa futhi liyinhlanhla. Ulandela ezinyathelweni, nakuba engamkweleti ugqozi, wombhali waseMelika u-Anna Todd, naye owatholwa kuWattpad, umbhali wencwadi ethi 'After', inoveli eyanyatheliswa ngo-2013 esidayise amakhophi ayizigidi eziyi-11 emhlabeni wonke. UMatilda-Erin usekude. Ukuthengisa amakhophi encwadi anenani leshumi leminyaka akuphumelelanga. Usevele enamanani ayisithupha. Okwamanje, usazoqhubeka nokufihla igama lakhe: “Ngaphandle kokungaziwa - uyachaza - kunesidingo sobumfihlo. Angisho ukuthi esikhathini esizayo ngeke ngisayine amakhophi ezincwadi zami."
