Jonathan Safran Foer, with his writing, has been able to create the blurred and blurred boundary between creativity and catastrophe. With his books, from Everything is enlightened to Here I am (Guanda) through his essays, the author recounted September 11, the prophetic destruction of Israel, global warming. In the same way, Etgar Keret’s books recount the turbulence that rewrites the human condition, and from which to learn, to be reborn, to start again for the ever-perennial definition of what we are, and what the world is. A powerful literary and human conversation to reflect on the creative destruction – or destructive creations – community and collective present.
In dialogue with Francesca Longo, Vice Rector of the University of Catania.
