Rude book


In an idle moment I plugged "Mortacci", the title of my Italian Deadfolk translation, into google translate.

Here is the result. (And if you're in any doubt, click the audio button and hear it spoken aloud in a nice voice.)

And all the while I thought it meant "dead people". No wonder I never got invited to any lit festivals in Italy.

Urban Dictionary gives a slightly different definition. And suggests you might want to buy Mortacci mugs, tshirts and magnets.
