Italy – 9th April – Pre-order link

Publisher La nave di Teseo has committed to publishing the book. Their editorial director Elisabetta Sgarbi even did an interview about it. The Italian version has a very different cover.

“I haven’t heard any dissenting voice these days. If ever there will be, however, they will obviously be able to express themselves but they will not have any influence on the publication of the book. To make a comparison: in the publishing house, all those who work there, they are delighted to be the publishers of Woody Allen. And anyway, we are talking about a really nice book.”

Meanwhile, the cancellation of the US publication by Hachette has been met with wide spread criticism. It’s interesting that it has come from all over the world, from male and female writers, from all aspects of the political spectrum and in many major publications.

There’s plenty more, and more to come I’m sure.
