«I wrote “Gomorrah” eighteen years ago. I wrote it in the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples, in a house in Piazza Sant’Anna di Palazzo. As I wrote and all the stories took shape, I told them to myself and followed the thread of my voice. Today that same voice reaches the public thanks to Audible and opens a new course for “Gomorrah” which also becomes an audiobook, and in this new form it will live yet another life, acquiring the power that only the voice can tell stories”commented Roberto Saviano.
