“Remember me as you like”: the posthumous book by Michela Murgia

On April 30th Mondadori will present the second posthumous book by Michela Murgia, Remember me as you like. In memory of me. The work, edited with dedication by his editor and friend Beppe Cottafavi – to whom he told his story during his last summer – offers us a final foray into Murgia’s universe. From her reflections on life to the idea of ​​power and feminism, but also of faith.

It’s about an organic autobiography of a woman who lived every moment intensely, without fear of facing the greatest challenges. Michela Murgia takes us through the twists and turns of her existence with disarming sincerity. She does this by sharing with us the joys, pains and conquests of a life lived explored in every part of her.

During four, powerful stories, Murgia talks to us about loves, queer relationships, memories of youth, violent men and Sardinian matriarchs with their rosaries. The Sardinian language intertwines its knots with the plots of Korean culture (his great passion), while the exhaustive analysis of the Bible merges with the evocative magic of writing. For Mondadori, it is the “definitive testament” of a woman “who crossed the world running barefoot, burning brightly at every stage”.

A literary journey that proves not only fascinating but also extremely engaging. It takes us on a journey through the depths of the human experience. It is a story that pushes us to reflect on crucial issues such as gender equality, cultural diversity and the tireless fight against all forms of oppression. It invites us to explore new perspectives and embrace the complexity of the world around us.

In her book – about 300 pages – which is already available for pre-order online, “Murgia reveals to us how a provincial girl, trained to read the Gospel and be content to survive, set out to change the world instead, relying on an irreducible aspiration for happiness.”
