    • Interview with Author Taras Grescoe

    For our author interviews series, we’re delighted to present Taras Grescoe, a Canadian journal-ist based in Montreal and the author of seven non-fiction books, the latest being “Possess the Air – Love, Heroism, and the Battle for the Soul of Mussolini’s Rome.” As the subtitle suggests, the book is set in 1920s and ‘30s Rome, during Mussolini’s rise to power and the establishment of Fascism. It tells the story of Lauro de Bosis, an Italian-American poet and aviator, who defied Mussolini’s politics – in the air. 
    In this compelling interview, Grescoe tells us about his connection to Italy, why he was inspired to write this story, why there are reasons to be concerned about the rise at parallelisms there are with the rise of populisms and xenophobia, and what his characters can teach us about political activism.
