X'sens tista' tagħmel il-letteratura minn dan kollu, anki meta awturi Palestinjani madwar id-dinja qed jiġu kkanċellati?

What sense can literature make out of all this, also when Palestinian authors around the world are being cancelled? How is the rest of the rest of the wrold reacting to this in the light of the usual words aboud universal human rights, the rule of law and international law? ANd how can we ever move forward from this theatre of blood and retaliation? Antenni Suspettużi is PEN Malta's weekly podcast with contemporary authors.

Poddata ġdida ma' Matthew Schembri, l-awtur ta' "Stessi" u "Ħassartek", li jkellimna dwar il-proċess li wasslu biex iħassar ir-rumanz tiegħu stess u jiddistillah f'poeżija, fi żmien meta l-Fibromyalgia żammitu lura milli jikteb, u kif jasserixxi l-identità Queer permezz tal-letteratura.
