"Our era is
a gigantic bubble
of loneliness."
~ Alda Merini ~
Roberto Saviano, Italian writer, journalist, and screenwriter.
On October 20, 2008, six Nobel laureates - Dario Fo, Michail Gorbačëv, Günter Grass, Rita Levi-Montalcini, Orhan Pamuk, and Desmond Tutu - mobilized, calling for the Italian state to make every effort to protect him and defeat the Camorra, emphasizing that organized crime is not just a police issue affecting the writer, but a democracy issue that concerns all free citizens. These citizens, they specify in the appeal, cannot tolerate that the events described in his book occur in Europe in 2008, just as they cannot accept that the price to pay for denouncing these events is the relinquishment of their freedom and safety.
The appeal was signed by other writers such as: Jonathan Franzen, Javier Marías, Jonathan Safran Foer, Jonathan Lethem, Martin Amis, Chuck Palahniuk, Nathan Englander, Ian McEwan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, José Saramago, Elfriede Jelinek, Wisława Szymborska, Betty Williams, Lech Wałęsa, Paul Auster, Siri Hustvedt, Peter Schneider, Colum McCann, Patrick McGrath, Cathleen Shine, Junot Díaz, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Taslima Nasreen, Caro Llewelyn, Íngrid Betancourt, Adam Michnik, and Claudio Magris.
