Carlo Pirozzi, Research Fellow at the Italian Department of St Andrew’s University, is inviting submissions of short stories in response to the artwork The Manuscript of Monte Cassino (1991) by Edward Paolozzi. Carlo is interested in stories that explore how the sculpture, which itself bears a historical memory, creates memories and inspires new stories when it is seen from a transnational and transcultural perspective.
Texts will be selected for online publication in the Transnationalising Modern Languages: Mobility, Identity and Translation in Modern Italian Cultures project that Carlo is working on, and in an edited book.
There is no word limit.The closing date is 29 February. Website: http://writ.rs/manuscriptofmontecassino
