A narrative discourse of the twenty-first century: the New Italian Epic.

The article focuses on the publication of the "New Italian Epic," or NIE, a memorandum written by Roberto Bui under the pen name of the collective author Wu Ming. It states that NIE serves as Bui's interpretation of an Italian literary movement that flourished in 1993. It also adds that NIE lists and analyses works under Italian literature while focusing on the essential features of the said works. The memorandum also argues that art and literature must serve its audience by means of attrition.
