I’m not Scared

Given the success detective stories are having all over the world, and certainly in Italy, we will be inaugurating “La stagione in giallo” with Niccolò Ammaniti, Io non ho paura (2001), I Am Not Scared (translated by Johnathan Hunt, 2003). You can read the book in Italian or English, or listen to it as an audiobook in both languages. Come and discuss it with us while having some cake and gelato at Calabrisella’s Gelateria.
