Eshkol Nevo “I no longer write in Israel, it is more urgent to take to the streets to save democracy”

“In Israel now I can’t write anymore. I have to go out into the street, go to demonstrations – we are fighting for democracy. Because in Israel it was taken for granted, but now it is no longer”: Eshkol Nevo, the great Israeli writer, the author who conquered Italian readers with “The Symmetry of Desires”, “Neuland”, “Le vie dell’ Eden”, “Nostalgia”, “Alone and lost”, “The last interview” or “Three floors”, from which the director Nanni Moretti made the homonymous film, is for a few days in Italy, where he taught in his course at the Scuola Holden in Turin and tomorrow he will be in Genoa, at Palazzo Ducale, at 6 pm, to meet the public.
