Id-Deni li Jibqa’: Diskussjoni ma’ Karl Schembri

🇲🇹
Il-Festival Mediterranju tal-Letteratura ta’ Malta bi pjaċir jilqa’ lil Karl Schembri, awtur Malti ta’ barra, li ftit xhur ilu nieda r-rumanz Eħlisna mid-Deni (Merlin Publishers, 2025). Ir-rumanz ħalla impatt fuq ix-xena letterarja Maltija għall-mod kif indirizza tabujiet mistura fis-soċjetà tagħna, u l-konsegwenzi tagħhom. Il-kuraġġ tal-awtur wassal lir-rumanz saħansitra sal-faċċati ta’ wħud mill-gazzetti Maltin … rarità. Jean Paul Borg se jintervista lil Schembri dwar dan u aktar, u bejn mistoqsija u oħra, se jinqraw xi siltiet.
Dan l-avveniment se jittella’ f’kollaborazzjoni tal-Fondazzjoni Arkivji Nutarili li min-naħa tagħhom se jesebixxu xi dokumenti storiċi għall-pubbliku. Qabel u wara l-intervista, il-pubbliku mistieden għal ftit tnaqqir u xorb fl-ispirtu tal-Festival.
Karl Schembri huwa rumanzier u poeta Malti u fl-imgħoddi kien ġurnalist investigattiv. Xogħlu jitbandal bejn proża fittizja letterarja, poeżija li tiddokumenta kriżijiet umanitarji, u letteratura għat-tfal. Twieled fl-1978, u qatta’ żewġ deċennji jaħdem f’kuntesti umanitarji bejn Gaża, il-Ġordan, l-Iraq, is-Sirja, il-Jemen u l-Afrika tal-Lvant.

The Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival is delighted to welcome Karl Schembri, a Maltese author based abroad, who a few months ago launched his novel Eħlisna mid-Deni (Merlin Publishers, 2025). The novel has made an impact on the Maltese literary scene for the way it addresses taboos hidden within our society and their consequences. The author’s courage even brought the novel to the front pages of some Maltese newspapers … a rarity. Jean Paul Borg will interview Schembri about this and more, with selected excerpts from the novel read between questions.
This event is being held in collaboration with the Notarial Archives Foundation, which will also exhibit a selection of historical documents for the public. Before and after the interview, the audience is invited to enjoy some light refreshments and drinks in the spirit of the Festival.
Karl Schembri is a Maltese novelist and poet, and a former investigative journalist. His work moves between literary fiction, poetry documenting humanitarian crises, and children’s literature. Born in 1978, he spent two decades working in humanitarian contexts across Gaza, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and East Africa.
