She's rather disruptive in school there are just a lot of aspects to her situation that interest me," Rowling says. She describes those teenagers as simultaneously victims and protagonists: "I suppose that the whole plot revolves around the question of what we do with someone like this particular teenage girl.
"Largely from the teenagers, in that they attempt to influence what's going on." "I knew that there would be an element of subversion in the story," Rowling says. There are kids in Vacancy, but they're worlds away from Harry and his wizarding pals. Rowling is taking her first steps into the world of adult literature after the immense success of the Harry Potter series. Rowling was, famously, on a train when she had the idea for Harry Potter. "There appears to be something to do with vehicles and movement that stimulates my writing," she laughs. Rowling got the idea on a plane, while touring the United States to promote the last Harry Potter book. It's not my story, but it does address themes, subjects that are very important to me." I became excited about the idea of writing it," she says. "Exactly as with Harry Potter, I knew it was something I really, really wanted to write. Rowling tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that Vacancy was a book she felt a deep need to write. There's no magic in Vacancy, though readers of the Potter books may well recognize Rowling's acute and often painful observations of human nature.
Having concluded that series, she's written a novel for grown-ups called The Casual Vacancy, a story of troubled teenagers and their even more troubled parents.Ī local politician in an English town drops dead, prompting not mourning, but an outbreak of speculation over his suddenly empty town council seat.
She's moved away from Harry Potter, the boy wizard whose stories prompted millions of kids to obsess over books big enough to serve as doorstops.
