Ordinary Persecution with Alessandro Piperno

Friday, April 15, 2011, 12:00 p.m.
Auditorium Santa Margherita, Venice, Italy

Headed off to the Venice Literary Festival, to do a talk with Italian writer Alessandro Piperno, author of the bestselling novel The Worst Intentions. The event will be moderated by Shaul Bassi, a proffesor of English and Post-colonial literature. This year the festival is called Around the World in 32 Writers. Those writers include V.S. Naipul, A. S. Byatt, and Etgar Keret (who is going to eat a bowl of pasta with me just like in Lady and the Tramp).
