Reading

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian-American writer, is now in the limelight of the English-speaking world literary scene (and not only, translated into 30 languages) thanks to works such as The Hibiscus Viola, Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, in which she addresses issues of sexism, racism and feminism, patriarchy and ethnic-religious conflicts, globalization, migration and diaspora, postcolonialism and cosmopolitanism.

The conscientious objection to military service is the result of a struggle that lasted over 25 years that involved movements, intellectuals, politicians, priests, Christians of different denominations, libertarians, anarchists, and especially those 706 young people, to whose request to be able to serve the country without weapons, the State has opposed a harsh refusal and prison sentences.

A dialogue with Marina Della Bella to explore her creative and compositional universe, researching through her two latest published works (a poetic anthology and a memoir) the expressive tension that vibrates between memory and present.
