Incunabula vol. 1
Letters to the Blind by Camilla Salvatore

Letters to the Blind is Camilla Salvatore’s first collection of writings.

Defying the codes of the epistolary genre, Incunabula’s inaugural issue is a feverish dream into the unreliability of truth, which Camilla Salvatore weaves into the fabric of reality through a language that is lyrically personal as much as militant.

A reckoning with the ripples of memory and the riddles of love, this selection of texts—written between Naples, Milan, and London over four years—is a transformative encounter with the unspeakable at the edge of experience.

When past, present, and future dissolve in the haze of grief, the possibility of a reconciliation shines through: Letters to the Blind confronts the reader with the wonder and terror that follow the ultimate uprooting—the collapse and rebirth of the self.

Edited and translated by Veronica Gisondi.

The launch of Letters to the Blind coincides with that of Incunabula, an independent editorial project for the dissemination of Italian writing in English translation. A forge for unorthodox, imaginative textual practices, Incunabula aims to blaze a trail for radical perspectives by collaborating with authors who work outside mainstream publishing, cutting across literary forms and genres.
