A New London mini-tour, October 2010

On Monday 11th October 2010, two members of the band will be at Café Oto, 18 – 22 Ashwin street, Dalston, London E8 3DL. Door Times : 8pm – Tickets : £4 adv / £5 on the door – More info here.

On Tuesday 12th October 2010, two members of the band (and it’s very likely that they’ll be the same two members as the night before) will be at Pages of Hackney bookshop, 70 Lower Clapton Road, Hackney, London E5 0RN. H 7 pm – More info here.

On wednesday 13th October 2010, two members of the band (and it’s extremely likely that they’ll be the same two members as the previous nights) will be at the British Library. No details yet for this event, we only know that it will be at 6.30 pm.

Three very different venues. Each event will be slightly different from the other two, but there is no doubt that we’ll read from our books (especially from Manituana), talk about the way we work with history, introduce our latest novel Altai (which will be published in English by Verso at some moment in the future), say a few things on the second installment of the “Atlantic Triptych” that started with Manituana (we just began to work on it), comment upon our essay Spectres of Müntzer at Sunrise (ie the introduction to this book here), answer questions and so on and so forth. See you there.

For those who read us from China

The current issue of Shanghai-based 《外国文艺》 magazine (Waiguowenyi = Foreign Literature and Arts) features a 20-page special on Wu Ming and the New Italian Epic. There are translated excerpts from three of our novels (54, Manituana and Altai) plus some non-fiction stuff. It’s both on the translator’s blog (html) and dowloadable from our server (pdf). 哪里哪里!

WELCOME TO WU MING’S BLOG


We are the Wu Ming Foundation. We are a collective of novelists based in Italy. We are the authors of several novels. As of Springtime 2013, four of them are available in English: Q, 54, Manituana and Altai.If you want to know more about us, check these links:

This is our ugly, neglected blog in English (with occasional posts in Spanish and other languages). Our main blog is called Giap, and it is in Italian. We'd like to have more time to translate our stuff and work on this blog, and we tried hard, but it's impossible. You'll have to be content with what we can do, sorry :-(
