Alessandro Barbero will be the featured speaker at an upcoming OGR Talks event. On March 27, at 6:30 p.m., on the stage of the Sala Fucine at OGR Torino, the writer and historian presents his latest novel, Brick for stone.

In this book, set to be released on March 21st by Sellerio, Barbero challenges the traditional approach of historians by using the real-life event of the fall of the Twin Towers as a starting point to create - with absolute, unabashed freedom - entirely new characters and situations, blurring the lines between tragedy and farce and incorporating the most shameless literary invention into reality.
