edit data

Wu Ming (extended name: Wu Ming Foundation) is the collective pen name of four Italian writers: Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi and Riccardo Pedrini, respectively known as "Wu Ming 1", "Wu Ming 2", "Wu Ming 4" and "Wu Ming 5". "Wu Ming" means "anonymous" in Chinese. Although their real names are not secret, the four authors never use them. The quartet was a quintet until 2008, when Luca Di Meo aka "Wu Ming 3" left the group. Wu Ming had previously been using another pen name: Luther Blissett.

Under that nom de plume, Wu Ming wrote the novel Q.
Each member of the group also writes as an individual author:

WM5: Ai tempi dell'Avanbardo, io battevo tutt'altre piste. Ma siccome le piste di Luther Blissett erano molteplici, intricate, si affastellavano come steli di achillea e percorrevano il territorio in maniera capillare, capitò anche a me di incrociarl ...more

WM5 (2001): Al di là del trasporto di alcuni Wu Ming per certe forme subculturali, c'erano tutti i presupposti perché questo libro si rivelasse una minchiata. Bene, i presupposti sono tutti sconvolti. Noi siamo i mods è un noir serrato, quasi ellroya ...more

Quotes by Wu Ming

“Però, vedete, se voi desiderate prendere una lepre, che le diate la caccia con i cani o col falco, a piedi o a cavallo, resterà sempre una lepre. La libertà, invece, non rimane mai la stessa, cambia a seconda della caccia. E se addestrate dei cani a catturarla per voi, è facile che vi riportino una libertà da cani.”
― Wu Ming, Altai

“Dice Yggdrasil: l’Imperatore ha messo da parte tanta carta come non s’è mai vista, una montagna, che a mettere i fogli uno sopra l’altro si può raggiungere la luna, eppure tutti quei fogli non gli serviranno, ora che i boschi sono stati abbattuti. Nemmeno i menestrelli, i letterati e i cantastorie possono farci nulla, perché di storie da ricopiare nella grafia degli amanuensi, leggende di dèi ed eroi, favole antiche e recenti, di tutto questo non è rimasto nulla, nè ricordo, né memoria, né origine.”
― Wu Ming, Anatra all'arancia meccanica. Racconti 2000-2010
