AFTERWORD FROM ‘ORPHANS IN A SPARKLING VOID’
13 February 2025
I have spent the last quarter of 2024 working non-stop on the book in three editions that has become respectively Orphans in a Sparkling Void (English), Orfani in un vuoto stellato (Italian) and Huérfanos en un vacío de estrellas (Spanish), soon published with El Doctor Sax, Valencia.
It has been wonderful and challenging revisiting this project on Soviet Literature from the 1920s–1940s, giving it the new ‘graphic essay’ shape, working simultaneously in producing new visual material for it, designing the new format and translating it into Italian. I am also very pleased to see the original text by Kiril Bozhinov translated into Spanish thanks to the painstaking work of Gaston Gorga. Each language provides a different hue to the poetic images and the experimental passages of the book. In the Afterword, I go briefly through the different stages of this project homaging an entire generation of creative minds living and working under the repression of a dictatorship.
