Radio Off / The Milan Review: Ghost
Tonight Radio Off is hosting the release of independent publishing house The Milan Review’s first project, “The Milan Review of Ghosts. The hardback literary review looks to be an genuinely well-curated, unusually interesting collection of short stories. And when’s the last time you read something genuine compelling about ghosts? Never, that’s when. And as icing-on-the-cake, the book is illustrated by Matt Furie (the monster mastermind), as well as Maison du Crac.
GHOST (n.) 1. The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats. 2. The centre of spiritual life; the spirit; the soul of man. 3. A demon or spirit. 4. A returning or haunting memory or image. 5. Any faint shadowy semblance; an unsubstantial image; a phantom; a glimmering; as, not a ghost of a chance; the ghost of an idea. A suggestion of some quality.
With Tim Small as editor and Riccardo Trotta as art director, The Milan Review project itself looks to grow into something rather exceptional. Its unrestrained editorial focus will see it bring life to “an unspecified number of narrative books, art books, fanzines, and anything else we feel like publishing.” We certainly look forward to impending pleasant surprises.
Radio Off is curated by the brilliant Marco Klefisch, and The Milan Review of Ghosts will be subsequently presented in both London and New York.
Opening tonight at 19:00 at Via Pestalozzi 4, Milan. Free drinks, and live tunes courtesy of Stargate (alias Lorenzo Senni). See you there!
