In this video blog, Massachusetts Review editor and translator Jim Hicks reads selections from the English translation of Erri De Luca's "A Dissenting Word." De Luca is currently being tried in Italy for expressing -- during an interview on the Italian site of the Huffington Post -- his solidarity with the Susa Valley's NO TAV activists, a resistance group that opposes the construction of a high-speed train line between Lyon and Torino. If convicted, De Luca could be sent to prison for up to five years.
