AUTODAFE is a collection of reports, interviews, correspondence, narratives, and stories from around the world.

The contributors are all members of the International Parliament of Writers; the pieces are original to Autodafe. The journal's common themes are the reflection of social and political realities of the world, censorship, the interdict of language, and the effects of globablization among others.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“An important anthology of writing. Serves as an aide-memoir for the writer's potential as a catalyst for social change, and the uneasy vulnerability of free speech.” –Scotland on Sunday


“A staggering testimony to the possibility to resist and to the space of fiction.” –Expresso

About the Author

The International Parliament of Writers (IPW) was created after an appeal launched in July 1993 by 300 writers from all over the world, in reaction to the increase of writers’ assassinations in Algeria. The signatories of this appeal affirmed the need for a new international structure capable of organizing a concrete solidarity with persecuted writers, in the form of a Cities of Asylum Network. The publication of their annual review, AUTODAFE, was a collaboration between various publishing houses around the world: Seven Stories Press in the US, Anagrama in Spain, Agra in Athens, Denoel in France, and Feltrinelli in Italy.
