“I would like to say that I don’t know whether to act posthumously or to remind myself that the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.” With the frankness that distinguishes her, Michela Murgia thus commented on the news published these days on her behalf, after she announced on Saturday in a long interview with Corriere della Sera that she has stage four cancer. “It’s the eighteenth ‘crocodile’ I’ve read about people who hated me a lot in life anyway and I’m upset, I don’t know how to behave – she added -. If I don’t die within a month it’s rudeness because such an expectation has been created…“, the writer later joked. The occasion was her performance at the Carcano theater in Milan together with her colleague Chiara Valerio in the show “Chiara Valerio & Michela Murgia. Instructions for use” held on the evening of Monday 8 May.
The article Michela Murgia: “I’ve already read 18 ‘crocodiles’ about my death. If not blunt within a month it is rudeness” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.
