@C_litteraire Il canto del buio e della luce, Antonio Moresco

[Basctiàn-Zese @jpapruzzese]

" Invece [il mondo] sta finendo nel buio, sta ripiombando di nuovo nell'oscurità più profondo, come prima che Dio con un folle gesto separasse la luce delle tenebre.
E noi siamo rimasti dalla parte delle tenebre."

– Antonio Moresco, "Canto del buio e della luce"

" Je ressens du regret, un énorme regret pour chaque animal mort, une sorte de deuil qui ne se termine jamais. Un deuil en remplace un autre, je suis constamment endeuillée. Voilà à quoi j'en suis réduite "

Olga Tokarczuk, "Sur les ossements des morts"

Just published a new short story "Abdel-Ghafur" about a former member of the Neapolitan underground and Muslim convert seeking redemption in the Libyan desert. Thanks to Tobias Carroll for giving this story a home and to Karim Ezzeldin for his input.

I'll be in conversation tonight with author Helene Stapinski at the Night of Ideas at HCCC co-sponsored by the Villa Albertine and the new Centre Pompidou. The topic will be how immigration has shaped Jersey City over the years. Hope you can make it!

Psyched to see my story "El-Rokba" published in @vol1brooklyn. A million thanks to @TobiasCarroll for giving this story a home. https://t.co/hkXeBqSGXL

Just published this article in @vol1brooklyn on "The PornMe Trinity," a novella by @raviddice David Leo Rice: a modern parable of the fertility, death, and rebirth of a humanity lost between the real and the virtual. Rice has a prescience like few others.

Who does your body belong to? Who is in possession of you, of your self, at any given moment in your life? Is it you? Is it your parent, is it your spouse or sexual partner, is it a physician, is it a police officer or prison warden, a state legislature, the God you pray to?

Loved writing this artist profile published this week in LIT of French painter Christian Veschambre whom I've known for many years. A real honor playing a part in giving him the recognition he deserves.
