Q is a novel by Luther Blissett first published in Italian in 1999. The novel is set in Europe during the 16th century, and deals with Protestant reformation movements.
"Luther Blissett" was a nom de plume for four Italian authors, Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi and Luca Di Meo, who were part of the "Luther Blissett Project," which ended in 1999. They now write under the name Wu Ming.
The novel has been translated into several languages. All of the editions keep the original copyright statement, which allows for non-commercial reproduction of the book.
