Ekscrunchy
I don't know where you live, but if you are by any chance in New York-here is a great opportunity-
Roberto Saviano who wrote Gamorrah about the various Camorristi around Naples, is making a personal appearance tomorrow night- here's the information for you. I'll be there.

When: Thursday, May 1
Where: Elebash Recital Hall, CUNY Graduate Center: 365 5th Ave.
What time: 8?9 p.m.
Antonio Monda & Roberto Saviano
Cosponsored by the Martin E. Segal Theater Center, The Graduate Center, CUNY, and The Italian Cultural Institute
When Roberto Saviano decided to investigate the Neapolitan mafia and write a book about its illegal activities, he never believed he would have an international best-seller on his hands, or that he would be living surrounded by bodyguards because his name was at the top of the mafia's hit list. Antonio Monda, whose next novel is set in a very different Naples?that of the elite?will discuss politics, corruption, and justice with this young journalist whose reporting of the truth has put his own life in danger.

I believe ekscrunchy is in Naples and on the Amalfi Coast this week.

If there are any Montrealers out there who might be interested, Roberto Saviano is being interviewed twice - once with translation to English, once with translation to French - in Montreal this week.

Yes, she's in Campania. I'm sure she is eating at some wonderful restaurants.

Thanks, all-I know she read this wonderful book when I did and wanted to alert her to the event.
