Today we talk about EEEEvGRRR IS IT GOOD TO BE EVIL and EVIL TO BE GOOD, a book by Dr A, published with our publishing house Europe Books.
Europe Books had the pleasure of interviewing the author Dr A to get to know him better, where he found the inspiration to write his book EEEEvGRRR IS IT GOOD TO BE EVIL and EVIL TO BE GOOD, as well as how he describes his writing style.
Below you can find our interview. Take a seat and enjoy your reading!!!
- Is there a particular moment in your life that led you to the writing of your book? What was that?
There are numerous such moments! This is due in part, to me being a prober – one who is not prepared to simply accept the experiences I contract! Scholastic empirics remain fixed in the minds of every human being, regardless of sex or age. Teenagers and adolescents spend a minimum of five years, seated behind a school desk for at least six hours a day! Considering that learners spend more time listening to pedagogues or demagogues, than what they spent at home. This excluding bedtime! The virtue of individuality is either acknowledged by a Sir, Madame, Mr. Mrs. Miss – Doctor, call them what you wish. Or bluntly ignored! I refused to be treated as a mere number. Despite my incalculable shortcomings, I thrive through the fact that there is none like me. I pose a challenge to all your readers to try and discover another Dr A. Before you manifest a look of either astonishment, disgust or horror, I wish to inform you – here denoting ALL readers – that not one of you have their equal either! I REFUSED TO BE STEREOTYPED! Don’t brand me! You, like I, are unstoppable! My IQ? I am still in the queue! I in Grade 12 got 5 percent for Science and 20 percent for Maths. ‘Butt!’. The big but! The hair on my head; despite being few and far between, is numbered, with only one knowing the number. I, Dr A, am an OOAK! If you ‘EEGRR’ to know who I get power from! Switch on the starter of my book!
- What characteristics should your audience have to appreciate your book?
Facing, yet scrutinising reality. Introspection and objective evaluation. Fiction is borne from imagination! Often being a reminiscence of a plethora of realities! Pleasant or awful experiences! Those which one treasures and those which one is horrified by! Being prepared to welcome the real world! Readers who while reading my book, recognise flashes of themselves in the drama, trauma, aroma, aura and charisma, which they were blessed or cursed with at school! Be true to yourselves! Life is a circus! There are devouring lions, baboons, clowns and racoons! Readers who toil with the struggle of ‘Who am I’! Readers who don’t judge a book by its cover! Dr A ‘luvvs’ such readers!
- How would you describe your writing style?
A fusion of formal and informal! I ‘love’ causing a Scene! 772 scenes in fact! An amalgamation of realism and surrealism! I thrive on playing with words. I created my own lingua franca, occasionally providing a translation. I provide lyrics for the amateur songs I composed. I suffer from technophobia – fear of technology! Years of roaming between my PC and my verandah meditating the contents of a Scene! Am I a poet? Only you readers could answer this!
- How was your publishing experience?
What an experience! ‘Europe Books’! From manuscript assessment, to date of acceptance, to editing, to terms and conditions, to punctual inter communication, to months of proofreading, to graphic design, to date of publication! MY HEROINES;
- Ginevra Picani
- Elisa Giuliani

- Valentina Carosi
Had it not been for these Captains of the Dr A team, I would have been lost completely! Professionality, Punctuality, No-Nonsense, Compassion are ambassadors of Europe Books! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
- Are you working on a new writing project?
YES! See teaser below to be completed in October 2003.
