With Erica Mou
Opening reading by Erika Grillo and Giorgio Consoli
In this autobiographical novel A Thing You’ll Hate Me For (Fandango Libri), Erica Mou delicately and sincerely recounts her mother Lucia’s illness. Through the pages of her mother’s diary, the author retraces the nine months of the illness, intertwining them with her own experience as a future mother. An intense dialogue between past and present, exploring filial love and memory.
This event is part of the Medimex Book Stories series, now in its seventh edition and which this year has as its theme and title Literary Deviations, in continuity with the thematic outline of the Medimex 2025 edition.
The protagonists of this edition are singers and musicians who have chosen to leave the usual trajectory of musical production to take new expressive paths, relying on the writing of novels, poems, autobiographies and stories. A deviation, indeed, but also a natural extension of a communicative urgency that transcends genres and embraces narration in all its forms.
The event is hosted by its creator Corrado Minervini—writer, music critic and radio host and takes place at the Literary Café Cibo per la Mente in Taranto.
