Saviano, no exclusion from the Frankfurt Book Fair. Other than censorship, it was the publishers who didn’t want it: the comment
Here we go again, after the case Darken upwho would have been the victim of alleged censorshippreventing him from a brief appearance on Rai (raise your hand, who wouldn’t want to suffer such censorship, with newspapers and televisions that for days do nothing else about you and your monologue?) now adds that of Roberto Saviano and his failure to invite the government to the Frankfurt fair. Open the sky against the new modern version of Melonian MinCulPop, which like an octopus would have put its ferocious claws to nip in the bud any type of criticism or simple expression of the thoughts of those who think differently from the government. Another useless and specious controversy, which probably further strengthens the belief that an attempt is being made to create a climate of illiberal and anti-democratic encirclement by a left that to define as disoriented and not very united is to use a euphemism.
As the newspaper rightly points out in an article The paperSaviano (like probably Scurati himself) is using pro domo e to attack the government (which he has been doing incessantly since Meloni took office at Palazzo Chigi) something that is not true. He will not go to Frankfurt (in fact he will actually go there, because he is a guest of German publishers) because no Italian publisher, no one among those who publish it, included Roberto Saviano in the list of authors proposed to participate at the Book Fair. Point. When questioned by Il Foglio, Mondadori, Feltrinelli, Bompiani and Solferino all responded in the same way: we didn’t include him. Which means that no one was able to cross it out.
The Italian Publishers Association, in fact, recalled in a note, as explained on Tuesday by president Innocenzo Cipolletta, that the choice of guest authors in Frankfurt is the result of a procedure made up of fruitful dialogue and discussion with individual publishers and literary agents Italians, starting from their proposals. Among the proposals on the basis of which the program was built, many authors are obviously missing, including, at least until today, Roberto Saviano. The IEA would never have allowed and will never allow external interference with respect to the will of the publishers.
Here is the mystery revealed: the person in charge of the fair designated by the government, Mauro Mazza, evidently did not carry out any censorship of the author of “Gomorrah”, because again as Salvatore Merlo reminds us in the Foglio, at the Frankfurt fair it is the publishers who report to the Confindustria dell’editoria (Aie) and then to the government commission chaired by Mauro Mazza the authors who want to promote abroad and the books that have been published or are about to be published who want to sell abroad. We are certain that, as happened with Scurati, this drama about censorship will cause a surge in sales of Saviano’s latest work, which, like his latest writings, seems to be struggling a little in terms of sales in bookstores. Who knows, perhaps the good Saviano, looking at what happened to his friend Scurati, thought it best to take advantage of the affair to try to push his book a little. As that saying goes… it’s a sin to think badly, but you often get it right.
