During sleepless nights, Iris navigates inner landscapes and a world marked by fractures and crises. With a hypnotic rhythm, Elvira Seminara’s writing in Lunario dei giorni insonni (Einaudi) transforms insomnia into a space of observation, where time is reversed and reality comes into sharper focus. Amidst fragilities, unexpected encounters, and gestures of solidarity, a meditation emerges on wakefulness as an act of attention, and on life that, even in the midst of disaster, continues to ask to be heard.
Introduced by Stefania Rimini, University of Catania.
