--BIOGRAPHY
--San
Giovanni in Fiore,
January 2002
--[...]
the migrations of entire populations, from whichever geographic
place of the Earth to other places, the advent in the last decade
of Internet and the World Wide Web, the tendency to the EuroMediterranean
- enlarging of Europe, the infinity of cultural interlaces,
in synthesis the
age of intercultural and global communication, push
me more and more towards the search
of my roots, from Calabria’s to the Mediterranean, to the common
roots of every man...
The Disappearing Society

Francesco Saverio Alessio and Emiliano
Morrone

“I know this book won’t be a bestseller, but if it touches just one person then it will have been worth it,’ said Giancarlo Trepans,
at the Forum Dialog this afternoon to launch the ‘Writer’s Under
Attack’ publishing programme by the two-year-old Italian publishing
house Neftasia Editore.
Trepans
is the author of the novel ‘How Long Since,’ one of the first titles
published in the series. The novel depicts an encounter between a
priest – one who has devoted his life to saving exploited children in
places like Sierra Leone and Chechnya – and a journalist who wishes to
record the stories.
Neftasia publisher Stefania Campanelli said the series will focus on publishing the works of writers who have
been persecuted, censored or exiled. One book will be published in the
series each month and a total of 15 titles is already planned.
Campanelli is seeking a partner to publish and distribute the books in
English.
Musa Mutaev, a Chechen writer who lives in exile in
Norway, presented a short reading from his new collection of short
stories ‘The Green Sun,’ also among the first titles to be launched.
Also among the first four title are ‘I Am Guilty,’ a collection of
essays by the Bangladeshi writer Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and an anti-mafia tract by Italian journalists Emiliano
Morrone and Francesco Saverio Alessio entitled The Disappearing Society.
Dr. Johano Strasser, president of PEN Germany, remarked that the ‘Writer’s Under
Attack’ series is likely help raise awareness of the persecution of writers
beyond the obvious countries – China, Cuba, Iran, Eritrea and Myanmar.
‘ This, in itself, makes the project a worthy thing to do,’ said
Strasser.
Neftasia is already helping to instigate change: The publisher has convinced its hometown of has to join the International Cities of Refuge Network ( ICORN) which offers a safe have to writers in exile.
