LITERATURE TELLS THE STORY OF THE LAST

From French literature to that of the English-speaking world and the voices of South America, a wide-ranging look at the ways in which different literary traditions have given voice to the marginalized: the poor, the excluded, the forgotten. John McCourt, Luca Pietromarchi and Maria Cristina Secci discuss authors and works that have given voice and dignity to those living on the margins of history, restoring complexity to lives that often go unspoken and unseen.
