"Slowly, humbly and methodically"


2009: BE READY, THE MAGISTER IS COMING BACK...

The novel's frontcoverVerso Books, London / New York, 2009

Thomas Müntzer's incendiary words, offered with a long narrative introduction by Wu Ming entitled
Spectres of Müntzer at Sunrise.
[A Chilly Night on Mexico's Central Plateau, the Making of Q, the Battle of Seattle and the Biggest Police Ambush in Italian History]


What the publisher says:
"The Reformation was originally an attack on a corrupt Church, sparked by Martin Luther. Thomas Müntzer, originally Luther's protégé, became increasingly convinced that the Reformation did not go far enough. In 1524 he became one of the leaders of the Peasants' War, where the struggle against the Church exploded into a revolutionary attempt to realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Wu Ming, the five Italian authors who, under the name Luther Blissett, wrote the best-selling novel Q about the Radical Reformation, ask why Müntzer has inspired radicals for almost 500 years."

The novel link Manituana was written in the 2004-2007 period and was published in Italy in March 2007. It is the first episode of an 18th-century pan-Atlantic trilogy which we'll complete with no hurry. All novels will be set on the backdrop of the American Revolution, from 1775 to 1783, all across the Ocean (North America, Europe, the West Indies and Africa).
Manituana
reached as high as link #4 in the Italian best-seller charts. In 2009 it will be published in English by Verso, in French by Métailié and in Spanish by Mondadori.
Manituana is also at the center of a complex transmedia project.
The official website is here. In time, ever more texts will be available in English.

Check the back issuesNEWSLETTER ARCHIVE
Giap is our newsletter, and it's in Italian. From 2000 to 2007 Giap/digest was the (very irregularly sent out) English version. It was very difficult to keep it going, plus RSS feeds and other innovations were making newsletters obsolete as a way of reaching people. Evolve or die. The Italian Giap has long become a monthly 'zine with about 12,000 subscribers. As to the English edition, well... we called it quits. Here's the archive, in case you want to check the back issues. There's good stuff in there. And if you read Italian, take a look at Giap.
