Michela Murgia is dead: the writer and activist who set social media alight
by Simonetta Fiori
Delivered before his death on August 10, 2023, it is “a touching book, about family. It was only supposed to be about Gpa (gestation for others, ndr) and became a deeper book about the sense of parenthood and kinship” This is how Giammei told Ansa about the project the day after the writer’s death.
The theme is the one that has been closest to Michela Murgia’s heart recently: it is possible being parents without blood ties to their children? Murgia believed in families founded on emotional bonds: we stay together because we choose each other.
The queerness family revolves around this freedom. Soul ties and blood ties can coexist and add up. What Murgia defends is another model of motherhood. Ideas consistent with his life. Murgia had chosen four “children of the soul”: in addition to Alessandro Giammei, to whom he entrusted the curatorship of his work upon dying, Raphael Luis, Francesco Leone and Michele Anghileri.
