“Happy Birthday Mom”. The appointment on Wednesday 12 June, 6.00 pm, at the Caffè il Palcoscenico in Piazzetta Goldoni is dedicated to the mother, the central character of Stefania D’Echabur’s book, “I will not write your story” (Erasmo Libri – Edizioni del Boccale). The presentation of the book will be an opportunity to talk more generally about motherhood. With Stefania D’Echabur, the artist Valentino Restivo. Musical accompaniment by Dario Petrucci. The author’s mother will be present.
“I won’t write your story” unfolds in a dialogue between past and present through a stream of consciousness on the register of memory and introspection. A sincere story written with authenticity, with the hope that it can be a vector for those who read to find tools of courage to talk about lives that are too often silenced due to fear and which fuels mental and material prisons. The narrative, despite the drama, offers colorful ideas and a modern texture that passes through the social medium of Facebook, useful in this case to trace the love of an elderly mother for her daughters.
Stefania D’Echabur, freelance journalist, was born and lives in Livorno. From a young age she cultivated cultural and social interests. She collaborates with the monthly magazine “Livorno Non Stop” and is involved in projects linked to the valorisation of the city. From the meeting with Francesca Talozzi, theatrical works and performances were born. After the publication of some short stories, this is her first novel.
