Four years ago, Liana Morisco left her home after lunch, en route to meet some friends at the local town square. As she walked down a busy street, a car veered towards her. After, the woman pulled over and said Morsco needed to stop writing.

Morisco says it was the sister of an politician who was defeated in the last municipal election. She says part of the reason he was defeated was due in…

POLITUSS, an…
