Charles de Lauzirika
1951 (72 года)Молодой де Линт мечтал стать музыкантом, и одним из главных его увлечений на всю жизнь стала кельтская музыка. Тогда, в конце 60-х, этноискусство было малопопулярным и не давало надежд на большие заработки, но Чарльз устраивается на работу в звукозаписывающую компанию, со временем сколачивает небольшую группу, начинает выступать в ночных клубах. Писал же он только для себя — и прозу, и стихи, и музыку. Литературную карьеру решил случай. В 1975 году сочинения де Линта случайно попались на глаза одному из его друзей, и он посоветовал Чарльзу послать пару рассказов в небольшой журнальчик. Полученный гонорар составлял «баснословную» сумму аж в десять долларов! Но сам факт казался де Линту удивительным: «Неужели кто-то готов платить деньги за то, что для меня просто хобби?!». Увы, мгновенного чуда не произошло. После первой удачной публикации — восемь лет сплошных отказов, хотя вдохновленный де Линт пишет роман за романом. 1980 год становится переломным для творчества де Линта. Он переносит сюжет своих произведений в городскую атмосферу. И дело не только в смене антуража, проза де Линта перестала быть фэнтезийной, — скорее это «магический реализм». За следующий год де Линт публикует три романа, тиражи быстро переваливают за десять тысяч, а вместе с ними растут и гонорары. «Я не хочу писать из-за денег. Я хочу, чтобы мне платили за то, что я пишу», — таков принцип де Линта. Нарушая сложившиеся каноны жанров, Чарльз де Линт создает новый жанр. Его произведения — это городские сказки, где в подчеркнуто урбанистическом мире, в вечно спешащем, разноголосом и многонациональном мегаполисе конца ХХ века разворачиваются удивительные и загадочные события. «В этом как раз вся суть, — говорит автор, — поставить мифологический архетип в современные, нарочито реальные обстоятельства. И наоборот — обыкновенного человека, желательно реалиста и материалиста, забросить в подчеркнуто мифологическую ситуацию». Сам писатель определяет своё творчество как «мифологическую фантазию», синтез реализма, мифа и народной сказки.
