the newsletter of «la Lettura» – Corriere.it

November 11 will be one hundred years after the birth of Kurt Vonnegut: And in the last fifteen without him, any of his readers have asked at least once, faced with this or that absurd development of contemporaneity: “I wonder what Vonnegut would have said”. The newsletter of La Lettura, coming on Friday 28 October, opens with a text by Vanni Santoni which anticipates his broader speech on the American author who opens the supplement # 570, previewed on Saturday 29th in the App and Sunday 31st on newsstands. For the centenary comes a graphic novel (Bompiani) inspired by his Slaughterhouse No. 5, which gives new life to the masterpiece novel. The tables of Claudio Marinaccio published in the insert, where another 4 pages are dedicated to comics and illustrated books.
