Plink...Plink...Plink...Un suono che si perpetua, ossessivo, cadenzato, paranoico, calmo e lento come la pioggia autunnale che all’imbrunire gocciola dal tetto di un pergolato, scandisce il tempo di Criceti di Emily Hunter.Una storia angosciante nella quale la violenza fisica diviene metafora di quella psicologica, perché l’impedimento a esercitare il proprio libero arbitrio e di conseguenza la legittima e inviolabile volontà d’inseguire i propri sogni, ha sulla psiche gli stessi terribili effetti e le stesse conseguenze che le più atroci sevizie hanno sulla carne. • Dalla prefazione di Luciano Dal Pont •I proventi derivanti dalle vendite di questa nuova versione digitale e cartacea saranno devoluti al Centro antiviolenza Associazione Olympia De Gouges Onlus di Grosseto. *** Nel testo sono presenti scene destinate a un pubblico adulto.

Emily began her career in advocacy journalism in 2006 after she had the opportunity to collaborate in a hour-long special on her Sea Shepherd activism for City TV Toronto called “Antarctica: Sea Shepherd Expedition.” She later graduated with a BA in Journalism from the University of Toronto Scarborough. In 2009, Emily became the eco-blogger for THIS Magazine, a Canadian independent magazine, and wrote the highest viewed blog of the year. That same year she became the eco-correspondent for MTV News Canada reporting on environmental issues. At MTV Canada, Emily co-directed and co-produced the first TV-documentaries of the show IMPACT, a current event series on topics that affect MTV viewers. She hosted four shows, including: “Tar Sands Investigation” (aired December 2009), “Inside the Protest” (aired July 2010), “Mexican Standoff,” and “G20: One Year Later.” Her second show “Inside the Protest” on the G20 Toronto protests captured the number one network position amongst all Canadian & US non-sport specialty networks on the first nigh of airing (July 9, 2010). In 2011, Emily released her first book titled The Next Eco-Warriors as editor and author, published by Red Wheel/Weiser in the United States and S. Fischer in Germany. The book was a collection of short stories by a new generation of environmental activists. Following the book’s release, Emily became an international speaker on youth environmental activism; including presenting at TEDxUTSC in 2013 on the term she coins “Activism 2.0.” Currently, Emily is developing her first feature-length documentary film on the subject of her book, tentatively called “Youth Revolution.”
