Roberto Saviano is in Stockholm to promote the film Gomorrah which is being shown in Sweden for the first time on Wednesday Nov. 26 at the 19th Stockholm International Film Festival.
"la Repubblica" publishes the author's speech to the Royal Academy of Sweden, titled Quei poteri che temono la letteratura.
According to "The Local", an English-language online newspaper published in Sweden, "The Italian Ambassador to Sweden has slammed a petition raised this week by a Swedish member of parliament in support of high profile Italian author Roberto Saviano".
According to Karl Ritter (The Associated Press), " Saviano said he was bothered by critics accusing him of being a "showoff" and dragging Italy's reputation in the mud for his own advancement. "I'm hurt when I'm portrayed as someone who vilifies his own country," Saviano said in Italian comments that were translated to English. "In a way I'm trying to honor the healthy part of my country."
