JK Rowling, author of ‘Harry Potter’, returns to the bookstore, but does so again under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith with whom he signs the entire saga starring the investigator Cormoran Strike. The writer has just published “The Ink Black Heart (The heart of black ink)”, a new case that comes with controversy for the story surrounding the protagonist of this mystery.
Cormoran Strike and Robin Elliott will have to investigate an event that centers on Edie Ledwell, creator of a hit cartoon series on YouTube. began receiving harassment from trolls and his own fans for, curiously, considering some of his racist, skillful and … transphobic animated strips. For a long time, Rowling has fallen out of favor with a good number of fans of her work, most notably “Harry Potter”, for positioning herself firmly on the side of radical trans-exclusive feminism (TERF) and for spreading on her social networks with thousands of followers they have unproven data refuting their view that giving more rights to the trans collective means losing the rights of cis women.
Media like Rolling Stone, which already had access to the novel, affirm this the artist receives death and rape threats “to have an opinion”posting pictures of their home on the Internet and other inconveniences that make you believe “who is the victim of a masterfully orchestrated and politically fueled hate campaign against her”. The 1,200-page book is filled with fictitious tweets from “haters”. Everything sounds so close to Rowling’s own life that it seems clear that she relied on herself to create Edie Ledwell.

JK Rowling defends herself
But the author commented in an interview with Graham Norton that, as they say, any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental: “I should make it very clear after some things that have happened in the last year that this is not a representation of that. I wrote the book before certain things happened to me on the Internet. I said to my husband, “I think everyone will see this as a response to what happened to me,” but it didn’t. I finished the first draft of the book before certain things happened to me”.
That may be so, but no doubt the plot of Robert Galbraith’s new book will raise dust again. This is not the first time. In 2020, when the previous book of the saga, ‘Muddy Blood’, was put up for sale, because the main suspect in the case was “A serial killer in disguise”. And in “The Silkworm” she also presented a trans woman with a special effort to describe the apple on her neck and her male hands.
