Silvia Tessitore, Eleven in September

Published in Italian, Eleven in September is a novel-reportage of post September 11 through testimonials of those who experienced that dreadful period in US history. As such, the book figures as a fundamental commemoration of what the Twin Towers have come to represent, a clear sign of respect toward the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The book is in Italian, the discussion will be in English. The author will be present. Copies will be available for purchase.

The event is organized by Peter Carravetta, Alfonse D’Amato Chair in Italian and Italian-America Studies, SUNY Stony Brook. Reception to follow.
