Join Typewronger Books as Anne Pia will be reading some poems and extracts from Keeping Away the Spiders and her new book, Magnaccioni :My Food My Italy on the theme of identity, self-making and freedoms. 

In a series of honest, often humorous and brutally frank essays, Anne Pia discusses sexuality, gender identity, reluctant feminism, and food as a sumptuous, sensual game-changer. Keeping Away the Spiders shows how positive energy can be drawn from life’s most challenging experiences. Anne asks the central question: ‘Who am I and who do I want to be?’ and invites the reader to do the same.

Magnaccioni (Roman dialect): people who live to eat well. 

Writing as a passionate food aficionada, Anne Pia has created a convivial and open-hearted cookery book that invites you into her kitchen. In Magnaccioni, she shares her own family recipes and the food she has enjoyed in Italy based on la cucina povera, la cucina di terra – the use of fresh produce and simple ingredients to create sumptuous, joyful feasts.
