Roberto Saviano - Quel che resta di me

Storia di un’infiltrata

Roberto Saviano

Few writers have paid a higher price for telling the truth.

With Gomorrah, Roberto Saviano tore the mask off the Camorra and became one of Italy's most acclaimed, and most threatened, public intellectuals. 

A bestselling author who has lived under police protection for nearly two decades. His work spans investigative journalism, fiction, television and film, all bound by a refusal to look away from power, corruption and the machinery of organised crime. For one night at the Barbican, Saviano comes to London for a rare evening of live conversation. Expect a wide-ranging discussion on writing as resistance, the true cost of speaking out, and what literature can still do in an age of disinformation and fear.

This talk will be given Italian with English surtitles.

Presented by Gotobeat.
