A few weeks after the long interview given to Corriere, in which Michela Murgia told of her fight against a tumor now in the fourth stage and which still leaves her a few months to live, the Sardinian writer returns to tell, this time in Vanity Fair, other previously unseen details of his battle with the disease .

Starting from New Years 2021 , when she was hospitalized in intensive care . «It was the second lockdown. I was in conditions of semi-consciousness, convinced that I was dying and with the doctors convinced that I would die. In reality, I survived intensive care due to an extraordinary reaction of the body to the first resuscitation treatments and two operations to empty the lungs of water. When I recovered and went out, when the diagnosis of the tumor arrived it was good news, because I still had time: I would not have died in intensive care ».

The 51-year-old then adds other details: «I didn't feel rejection: that news didn't mean cancer, it meant time. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of pain - she continues - If one of my children gets sick, I won't be so serene. At that time, neither bone nor brain metastases had yet occurred. Even this stage is manageable, because I can talk to her, I can live, I can write. In this year and a half I've written, I've gone to America to see Alessandro, I've enjoyed the fashion shows, I've gone on the Orient Express … And still every morning I wake up thinking that there are people who have my disease and who don't have mine quality of life".

The writer then confessed to having one last wish : «If today they said to me "What is it that you still want to do?" The last thing I want to do is go to South Korea to meet Bts », the best-known artists there with over 44.9 million records sold. “I probably won't go, but the Bts will come to me. You can't know. It's the last wish of wishes, like in the "Neverending Story" when you have the last one left to make and you can't find your way home. It is perhaps right that he should remain unsatisfied».
