SYDNEY (Reuters)-author of winners of the United States, Ann Exploring research for his novels has always taken seriously-but never more than with her latest, "State of wonder".

Set deep in the Amazon, the book focuses on a doctor who goes in search of a former mentor engaged in research on a tribe where women are fertile until I die-but also touches on topics such as malaria, corporate greed and confront issues of the past.

Looking to educate yourself about the details of a caesarean section, observing a real operation, Exploring-which won the Orange Prize of a previous book, "Bel Canto"-just mortified when she almost fainted and was hospitalized at the hospital itself.

In Australia for the Melbourne Writers Festival, Exploring talked about research and writing.

Q: what inspired his latest book?

A: "I wanted to write a book about a teacher/student, the teacher and the student meet again as adults as equals. This is not the story of a child student, but a medical student who was so deeply influenced by his relationship with the teacher and the teacher essentially does not remember her.

"I think it's a very common thing. Teachers can't remember all of your students, especially good ones. Teachers tend to remember their horrible students who really made your life hell. Those who are relaxed and activate your homework time, you don't remember those people. "

Q: do you take your readers to Amazon on this book, why?

A: "the only thing that I love about being a writer is that I love to go outside of myself and my personal experiences and I'd like to write about things that I know nothing about because it is a great opportunity to educate me. I can think of something that I know nothing about, that I am interested, malaria, and say I'll write a book where there is malaria and gives me the opportunity of studying and researching and thinking about it. It is wonderful.

"I don't do that in my previous books but certainly in the last several books I have gone into places and characters and situations that are too far outside my experience."

Q: for "Bel Canto", you heard a lot of Opera for his research. Which special searches that you do at the moment?

A: "I went to Amazon, I do a lot of research on malaria, fertility and birth in General. In fact, I went and watched a cesarean section. I had seen a live birth before, but that was the first. I fainted at the end, not until the end when they were sewing. I deleted in such a way that, when it finally arrived about ten minutes later, they were making plans to admit me to the hospital. I really embarrassed me terribly. It was like when you have to go to the bathroom when it lies in the Symphony and you think I can wait, I can wait and I knew I was going to the weak, but I was thinking, I can wait, she is almost finished, I can wait and finally I turned to my friend and said, I have to go now, and she said the nurse, and they caught me before I hit the ground. I was sweating and convulsions, it was terrible. I have to tell anyone that is not in the area of health should always see a caesarean-is beyond disgusting, but totally worth it. "

Q: you write the outline of the books before writing and if so why?

A: "Yes, I do tend to write the scene, and then do the research and use the search for correcting me. If you do the research first so you picked up on the details that he assumes, sometimes, but when I wrote the scene (cesarean section) for example I talked about the surgeon doing such sensitive points and when you actually see a caesarean is really how they can also be wired you sewing. It was so physical. I had no idea it was physically that lasts until it was great to see that and then go back and put those details. "

Q: you indicate your books before you start?

A: "I do. I always know how the book will end before I start it. For me it's like planning a trip. It's like having a map and then there are all kinds of small details that I do not know about the trip. Like coming to Australia, I know that I'm here for two weeks and I know I'm going to these cities, but I don't know what I'll do at night, where I'm going to dinner. There are little things that you don't know, but the overview of trip that you know and that is what writing a book is like for me. "

Q: the characters in his books are all very different, the unmarried mother, the black man of middle age, a Japanese interpreter. What inspires your characters?

A: "I want my books full of different characters. It is important for me because the world is full of various people. Is so funny, people tell me why you write about Japanese or black people and I always think ... you know only white people? For me it is a natural reflection of the world and is interesting. Books entirely composed of white people tend not to be so interesting to me, or how natural at this time. As far as my books are not autobiographical reflect my interests. "

Q: your trip to Australia will inspire a story?

A: "sure could, is an inspiring place".
